What's the difference between Serial DCE and Serial DTE link?
One side of the link (DCE), has to transmit the clock signal, which controls the data rate, and the other side (DTE) receives the clock signal.
R1 is DCE here:
interface Serial0/0/0
ip address 10.0....

Whats's the function of a loopback interface in routing protocols?
The loopback interface is useful because it is an interface with an IP address which never goes down. OSPF, without a specifically defined Router ID, will pick a Router ID on its own. It chooses the ...

Why can't I ping in this situation?
You have the 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/16 networks defined on both the middle and right routers. Using auto-summary on both makes each think they own those whole summarized networks, so they will not ...

OSPF - Default route doesn't get advertised to all areas
1.
The first issue is that you configured same Router-ID (RID) router-id 1.1.1.1 for R1 and R2 in area 45.
All OSPF router should have different RIDs across the OSPF network domain.
2.
And the ...

Multiple access lists on same vlan
You can't have more than one access list per direction on an interface. So, to accomplish this, you will have to create a unique access-list for each interface that allows only the traffic you want.

Why aren't mac addresses of a serial port shown on packet tracer
MAC Addresses are specific to Ethernet interfaces - serial interfaces are point-to-point and use a different Layer 2 protocol (PPP, HDLC, FR etc.) for communication.
EUI-64 is most likely deriving it'...

Because you have not a star-shaped network, you have to define a route to reach each network.
Your routes can be :

Default via 192.168.1.253
