2Basic Router Configurations for BRANCH1, BRANCH2,

HQ, and ISP (virtual) routers.
Configure the router host name.
Disable DNS lookup.
Configure an EXEC mode password.
Configure a message-of-the-day banner.
Configure a password for console connections
Configure a password for VTY connections.
Synchronize unsolicited messages and debug output with solicited output and prompts for the
console and virtual terminal lines.
Configure an EXEC timeout of 15 minutes.

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

- Classless
- Cisco Proprietary
- RTP
- Dual + FSM
- Both EIGRP & OSPF must be adjacent to its neighbor
- Hello messages.
- Metric: Bandwith, delay, load, reliability (K Factors)
- Backup Route (if possible)
- OPCODE: For EIGRP Packate type --- (messages)
1. Update
2. Query
3. Reply
4. Hello (Unreliable - RTP) --- sent every 5 seconds on LAN
sent every 60 seconds on WAN
- Holdtime (3x Hello Time)
- Multicast Address 224.0.0.10
01-00-5E-00-00-0A
-Partial & Bounded Update --- Only send when a change occurs and sends only to Routers affected.

- Command to start EIGRP

R1# router eigrp 1 ---number can be changed, however must have same number that are direct
connected Router
Network ____________ ---enter IP # of Router---
- Wildcard mask is the compliment of the subnet mask
Subtract full subnetmask 255.255.255.255 from the router subnetmask (ex:255.255.255.192)

255.255.255.255
- 255.255.255.192
0 . 0 . 0 .63
*** Remember, it is just the inverted subnetmask of the network ***

- "Command": show ip eigrp neighbors

- SRTT "Smooth Round Trip Timer"
- Null0 is the "bit bucket"

Best Route: successor (feasible distance - FD)

Backup Route: feasible successor(Reported distance - RD)
***Feasible condition (FC) is metwhen the RD of the neighbor to a network is less than
the local router's FD to that network.***
