EIGRP Packets
 IP EIGRP relies on 5 types of packets to maintain its various tables and
establish complex relationships with neighbor routers.
Packet Type Description
Hello Used to discover other EIGRP routers in the network.
Acknowledgement Used to acknowledge the receipt of any EIGRP packet.
Update Convey routing information to known destinations.
Query Used to get specific information from a neighbor router.
Reply Used to respond to a query.

10
EIGRP Hello Packets
 Hello packets are used to discover & form adjacencies with neighbors.
 Multicasted to:
 IPv4: 224.0.0.10
 IPv6: FF02::A
 Hello packets are always sent unreliably.
 Therefore Hello packets do not require acknowledgment. 11

EIGRP Wide Metrics
 The EIGRP composite cost metric does not scale correctly for high-bandwidth
interfaces or Ethernet channels, resulting in incorrect or inconsistent routing
behavior.
 The lowest delay that can be configured for an interface is 10 microseconds.
 As a result, high-speed interfaces, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces,
or high-speed interfaces channeled together (GE ether channel) will appear to
EIGRP as a single GE interface.
 To resolve this issue, the EIGRP Wide Metrics feature supports 64-bit metric
calculations
 The 64-bit metric calculations work only in EIGRP named mode configurations.
 The EIGRP Wide Metric is beyond the scope of this book.
 For more information, see the Cisco.com document “EIGRP Wide Metrics,” at

DUAL Concepts
 Diffusing Update Algorithm is the algorithm used by EIGRP.
 Determines:
 Best loop-free path
 Loop-free backup paths (which can be used immediately)
 DUAL also provides the following:
 Fast convergence
 Minimum bandwidth usage with bounded updates
 DUAL uses several terms that are discussed in more detail throughout this
section:
 Successor
 Feasible distance: đến đích từ chính mình
 Feasible successor
 Reported distance or advertised distance: đến đích từ hàng xóm
 Feasible condition or feasibility condition 28

Is R2 a valid back

Yes, because it has its own
path to 10.0.0.0/8. (no loop)

I can only use R2 as a
backup if it reports a
cost less than my total
cost through R3.
 EIGRP is a distance vector routing

protocol.
 Does not see any topology map.
 Can’t tell if there is a loop or not?
 To play it safe, EIGRP only accepts a
backup route if it meets the Feasibility
Condition (coming).
 R1 will only use R2 if R2’s metric to
10.0.0.0/8 is less than R1’s cost
through R3. 31

Feasibility Condition:
R2’s Reported Distance is NOT less
than R1’s Feasible Distance via R3,
so R2 is NOT a Feasible Successor.
 Does this mean R2 cannot be used if the current
best path fails?
 No, R2 can be used, but there will be a longer delay
before adding it to the routing table.
 DUAL will need to find (Query) R2 to see if it has a

 When there is no feasible successor DUAL puts the route into Active

EIGRP
Queries and
Stuck in
Active
 Router loses a route and does not have an FS in its topology table, it looks for an alternative
path to the destination. - known as going active on a route
 If a neighbor does not have an alternative route, it queries each of its own neighbors for an
alternative path.
 The queries then propagate through the network, thus creating an expanding tree of queries.

 When EIGRP returns a stuck in active (SIA) message, it means that it has
not received a reply to a query.
 Summarization can help prevent SIA. 50
EIGRP 101 EIGRP 102
Stuck-in-Active
 The most common reasons for SIA routes are as follows:

 The router is too busy to answer the query
 The link between the two routers is not good
 A failure causes traffic on a link to flow in only one direction.
 This is called a unidirectional link.
 Misconceptions
 Using multiple EIGRP domains (AS’s) to simulate OSPF areas (later)
will help limit the scope of the queries.
 This is not true, the boundary router will create a new EIGRP query
into the other EIGRP domain.

S0/0/0
HQ(config)# interface serial 0/0/0

HQ(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
 HQ performs summarization for all remote networks.

 A summary route is announced to other routers, like router GW.
53
Reduce Queries by using Summary Routes
?
 Connectivity to the remote location fails

 HQ has no feasible successors to reach the lost network
 HQ sends a query to its neighbors including GW.
 GW receives a query for a network 192.168.12.0/24…
 Immediately responds with a reply message without further forwarding the query because it
has a summary route 192.168.0.0/16 from HQ, which also describes 192.168.12.0/24 prefix.
 Because this route was learned from router HQ, router GW will respond that it does not
have an alternative path for 192.168.12.0/24.
 The summary is still valid as long as there is one prefix covered by the summary.

192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24 networks as a single route. 56
Determining the Summary EIGRP Route
1. Write out the networks that you want to summarize in binary.

2. Find the matching bits.
 Count the number of leftmost matching bits, which in this example is 22.
 This number becomes your subnet mask for the summarized route: /22
or 255.255.252.0.
3. To find the network address for summarization, copy the matching 22 bits
and add all 0 bits to the end to make 32 bits.
The result is the summary network address and mask for 192.168.0.0/22 57

EIGRP Load Balancing
75
Variance command
Router(config)# router eigrp 1
Router(config-router)# variance multiplier
 Cisco IOS allows up to 32 equal-cost paths (IOS dependent), 4 by default.
 EIGRP does unequal cost load balancing, forwarding packets relative to the metric.
 The variance command:
 Instructs the router to include routes with a metric less than or equal to n times
the minimum metric route for that destination
 n is the number specified by the variance command (1 -128).
 Default = 1
 The maximum-paths number EIGRP is used to sent the number of load-balancing
paths (up to 32 paths).
 1 disables load balancing
 Note: If a path isn't a feasible successor, then it isn't used in load balancing.
 Note: Load balancing is only performed on traffic that passes through the router, not
traffic generated by the router. 76
Variance command
RD

 Successor: R3 with a FD of 20
 Feasible Successors: R2 and R5
 R2’s RD of 10 < R3’s FD of 20

 R4 is NOT a FS because it’s RD of 25 > R3’s FD of 20

77
Variance command

Succ x 2 = 40

R1(config-router)# variance 2
 Variance = 2
 R3’s FDv 2 x 20 (FD) = 40
 R2 is added as successor to R1’s routing table: R2’s FD of 30 < R3’s FDv of 40
 R5 is NOT added to R1’s routing table: R5’s FD of 50 > R3’s FD v of 40
 R5 would still be a Feasible Successor
 Note: R4 is not considered even if it’s FD was < or = R3’s FD v of 40 because it is not a FS
 The load in is balanced proportional to the bandwidth.
 FD of the route via router R2 is 30
 FD of the route via router R3 is 20
 Ratio of traffic between the two paths will be proportional to the metric. 78
EIGRP over MPLS
79
Layer 2 and Layer 3 MPLS VPN Solutions
 Layer 2 MPLS VPN provides a Layer 2 service across the backbone

 R1 and R2 are connected together on the same IP subnet.
 Layer 3 MPLS VPN provides a Layer 3 service across the backbone

 R1 and R2 are connected to ISP edge routers; on each side, a separate
IP subnet is used.
80
Layer 3 MPLS VPNs
L3
192.168.1.0/30 192.168.2.0/30
network network
 R1 and R2 are configured for EIGRP as if there

were a corporate core network between them.
 EIGRP parameters between R1 and R2 (such as
the AS number, authentication password, and so
on) are often governed/coordinated by the
service provider. 81
Layer 3 MPLS VPNs
 R1 establishes an EIGRP neighbor relationship with the PE1 (Provider

Edge) router,
 R2 establishes an EIGRP neighbor relationship with the PE2 router.
 Routers R1 and R2 do NOT establish an EIGRP neighbor relationship with
each other. 82
Layer 2 MPLS VPNs
192.168.1.100/27
network
 EIGRP needs to be enabled with the same AS number on both routers.

 network command includes the interface toward the PE router (PE1 and PE2)
over which the routers R1 and R2 will form their neighbor relationship.
 From the EIGRP perspective, the MPLS backbone and routers PE1 and PE2
83
are not visible.
Layer 2 MPLS VPNs
 A neighbor relationship is established directly between routers R1

and R2 over the MPLS backbone. 84

 The most common reasons for SIA routes are as follows:

HQ(config)# interface serial 0/0/0

 HQ performs summarization for all remote networks.

 Connectivity to the remote location fails

 EIGRP can be configured to summarize routes, whether or not automatic

R2# show ip route

1. Write out the networks that you want to summarize in binary.

Router(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp as-number network-address

R1# show ip route

 When enabled, EIGRP summarizes at classful boundaries.
