How to Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

Posted by At Sunday, June 12, 2011

EIGRP Routing Configurations



EIGRP is a Cisco-proprietary routing protocol for TCP/IP. It’s actually based on Cisco’s proprietary IGRP routing protocol, with many enhancements built into it. Because it has its roots in IGRP, the configuration is similar to IGRP; however, it has many link state characteristics that were added to it to allow EIGRP to scale to enterprise network sizes. To know these characteristics read our pervious article.

In this article I will demonstrate an example of EIGRP Routing configurations. We will use four different series router so you can get familiar with all different platform covered in CCNA exam. Create a topology as shown in figure.

You can verify that eigrp is running successfully via show  ip protocols  command in privilege mode.

  You can use show ip route command to troubleshoot  eigrp network. If you did not see information about any route checks the router  attached  with that network.

R4#
 To test eigrp routing do ping from pc1 to pc2 and vice versa. If you get replay then you have successfully configured eigrp routing  but if you did not get replay double check this configuration and try to  troubleshoot.  I have uploaded a configured and tested topology in case you are  unable to locate the problem spot then download this configuration  file.



And try to find out where have you committed mistake.




Configuration command of EIGRP 


     Commands     Descriptions    


     Router(config)#router  eigrp 1     Turns on the EIGRP process. 1 is the autonomous system  number, which can be a number between 1 and 65,535.   


     Note:-  All routers in the same autonomous system must use the same autonomous system number.       


     Router(config-router)#network  10.0.0.0     Specifies which network to advertise in EIGRP.   


     Router(config-if)#bandwidth  x     Sets the bandwidth of this  interface to x kilobits to allow  EIGRP to make a better metric calculation   


     TIP: The  bandwidth command is used for metric calculations only. It does not  change interface performance.       


     Router(config-router)#no  network 10.0.0.0     Removes the network from the EIGRP process.   


     Router(config)#no  router eigrp 1     Disables routing process 1   


     Router(config-router)#auto-summary     Enables auto-summarization for the EIGRP process.   


     Router(config-router)#no  autosummary     Turns off the auto-summarization feature.   


     Router(config-router)#variance  n     include routes with a metric less than or equal to n times the minimum metric route for that destination, where n is the number specified by the variance command   


     NOTE: If  a path is not a feasible successor, it is not used in load balancing.  EIGRP supports up to six unequal-cost paths.       


     Router(config)#interface  serial 0/0     Enters interface configuration mode.   


     Router(config-if)#bandwidth  256     Sets the bandwidth of this interface to 256 kilobits to allow EIGRP to make a better metric calculation.   


     Router#show ip  eigrp neighbors     Displays the neighbor table.   


    Router#show ip  eigrp neighbors detail    Displays a detailed neighbor table.   


     Router#show ip  eigrp interfaces     Shows information for each interface   


     Router#show ip  eigrp interfaces serial 0/0     Shows information for a specific interface   


     Router#show ip  eigrp interfaces 1     Shows information for interfaces running process 1.   


     Router#show ip  eigrp topology     Displays the topology table   


     Router#show ip  eigrp traffic     Shows the number and type of packets sent and received   


     Router#show ip  route eigrp     Shows a routing table with only EIGRP entries   


     Router#debug  eigrp fsm     Displays events/actions related to EIGRP feasible successor metrics (FSM)   


     Router#debug  eigrp packet     Displays events/actions related to EIGRP packets   


     Router#debug  eigrp neighbor     Displays events/actions related to your EIGRP neighbors   


     Router#debug ip  eigrp neighbor     Displays events/actions related to your EIGRP neighbors   


     Router#debug ip  eigrp notifications     Displays EIGRP event notifications
