EIGRP- Introduction
EIGRP - Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
Developed in 1985 to overcome RIPv1s limited hop count
It is advanced distance vector routing protocol, that uses link state routing protocol
properties
It can be use in large network, it supports maximum hopes 255 and default is set to 100
Default administration distance for internal route is 90, for external route is 170
EIGRP uses multicast address 224.0.0.10 for their packets

EIGRP- Properties
EIGRP uses link properties to calculate its metric
#

Parameters

Values

1Bandwidth (K1)

K1=1

2Load (K2)

K2= 0

3Delay (K3)

K3=1

4Maximum Transmission Unit- M.T.U (K3)

K4=0

5Reliability (K5)

K=0

Query packet can

use unicast &
multicast

Reply packet only

use unicast

Autonomous System No.

Autonomous System No
It is a group of router or domain of routers under common administration control
Range of Autonomous System
1 to 65535
Redistribution
It is a process that allow to connect different autonomous system as well as different
protocols
It is a way to inject the route from one protocol to another.

Configuration
Router1 Configuration:Router-configuration)#router eigrp100
Router-configuration)#network 30.0.0.0
Router-configuration)#network 11.0.0.0
Router-configuration)#exit

Router2 configuration
Router-configuration)#router eigrp50
Router-configuration)#network 30.0.0.0
Router-configuration)#network 12.0.0.0
Router-configuration)# exit

Redistribution point
RD configuration)#router eigrp100
RD configuration-router)#redistribute eigrp50
RD configuration-router)#exit
RD configuration)#router eigrp50
RD configuration-router)#redistribute eigrp100
RD configuration-router)#exit

Type Of Tables

Table Name

Description

Neighbour Table

It contains list of all neighboring routers

Topology Table

It consists link of all possible routers within autonomous

Routing Table

It contains all possible best routers

Benefits

EIGRP used in many large enterprise networks.

EIGRP is a simple protocol to understand deploy.

Very fast rapid convergence times for changes in the network topology.

Only routing table changes, not the entire routing table, are propagated, when a
change occurs.

Easy transition to IPV6 with multi-address family support for both IPV4 and IPV6
networks.
