1. Configure OSPF area 0 on the subnet 111.111.12.0/24, area 12 on the subnet 111.111.0.0/24,area 1 on the subnet 111.111.2.0/24, and area 2 on R1’s loopback interfaces.
2. R2 should not have reachability to R1’s loopback interfaces. Do not use area filter-list command.
3. Configure R1 to advertise a default route to R2
4. Configure the network so that reachability is maintained in the case of the Ethernet link failure between R1 and R2.
5. Configure Type-1 authentication on area 0.
