Hi there,
I am trying to create a lab where students have to configure OSPF. I have my answer network created, but I cannot find OSPF section in the Assessment tree. Is this a bug, or just not supported? It's weird because some official cisco Packet Tracer activities are able to mark OSPF commands/configuration.
btw, I am PT using version 7.3.1
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for your help Tyson. I think I just found the reason. I tried versions 7.2.2 and 6.2 and there was no problem. The thing in the new 7.3.1 version is that the OSPF is supposedly disabled from Assessment Tree by default (and many other features). To enable it go to Options -> Preferences -> Answer Tree and check the technology you want to be enabled and checkable by the Activity Wizard.

I just fired up an old version of Packet Tracer Instructor v6.1.0 and was able to find OSPF in the assessment only after configuring OSPF in my answer network. If I simply place routers minus the OSPF config, I do not have the ability to assess anything OSPF related. The option just isn't there. Have you configured OSPF in the answer network correctly?

I tried to configure it from scratch in Answer Network, but still no OSPF there. But I just noticed you mentioned Packet Tracer Instructor version. Might that be a problem?

It appears that they used to have two different versions of PT (Student & Instructor). You could only make assessments if you had the Instructor version and the option wasn't even available with the Student version.
I just launched PT version 7.2.0 and it doesn't say anything about being an instructor version but I was able to create an assessment. I was also able to get the OSPF assessment to show on the answer network. I'm just not quite sure why you're not seeing it. Can you post the config for one of your routers that you're trying to use in the assessment that is using OSPF? Are you showing OSPF neighborships form and routes exchanged between the routers?
