Illustration supporting OSPF adjacency lab: isolate DR/BDR issues in three passes

This lab tutorial sequences three short passes: baseline show commands, intentional misconfiguration, and rollback. Each pass includes expected log lines and a short reflection prompt. The goal is muscle memory for common OSPF adjacency faults without memorizing long command dumps.

What this desk edition includes

  • Three-pass worksheet with timers
  • Annotated log snippets for each fault
  • Rollback checklist to keep labs reversible
  • Optional challenge that adds a second area
  • Reflection prompts for peer review
  • Printable topology ASCII sketch
  • Mentor discussion questions at the end

Outcomes you can check off

  1. You can narrate why an adjacency is stuck before opening configs.
  2. You can restore a clean state after each intentional break.
  3. You can pair the lab with the blueprint refresh article for context.
