Objectives

Part 1: Configure EIGRP

Part 2: Verify EIGRP Routing

Background

In this activity, you will implement basic EIGRP configurations including network commands, passive interfaces and disabling automatic summarization. You will then verify your EIGRP configuration using a variety of show commands and testing end-to-end connectivity.

Part 1: Configure EIGRP

Step 1: Enable the EIGRP routing process.

Enable the EIGRP routing process on each router using AS number 1. The configuration for R1 is shown.

R1(config)# router eigrp 1

R2(config)# router eigrp 1

R3(config)# router eigrp 1

What is the range of numbers that can be used for AS numbers? 1 – 65,535

Step 2: Advertise directly connected networks.

1. Use the show ip route command to display the directly connected networks on each router.
   • How can you tell the difference between subnet addresses and interface addresses? Subnets are identified with a “C” and link addresses are identified with an “L”.
2. On each router, configure EIGRP to advertise the specific directly connected subnets. The configuration for R1 is shown.

R1(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255
R1(config-router)# network 172.16.3.0 0.0.0.3
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3

R2(config-router)# network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255
R2(config-router)# network 172.16.3.0 0.0.0.3
R2(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3

R3(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3

 

Step 3: Configure passive interfaces.

Configure the LAN interfaces to not advertise EIGRP updates. The configuration for R1 is shown.

R1(config-router)# passive-interface g0/0

R2(config-router)# passive-interface g0/0

R3(config-router)# passive-interface g0/0

Step 4: Disable automatic summarization.

The topology contains discontiguous networks. Therefore, disable automatic summarization on each router. The configuration for R1 is shown.

R1(config-router)# no auto-summary

R2(config-router)# no auto-summary

R3(config-router)# no auto-summary

Note: Prior to IOS 15 auto-summary had to be manually disabled.

Step 5: Save the configurations.

Part 2: Verify EIGRP Routing

Step 1: Examine neighbor adjacencies.

1. Which command displays the neighbors discovered by EIGRP? show ip eigrp neighbors
2. All three routers should have two neighbors listed. The output for R1 should look similar to the following:

IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 1
H    Address       Interface     Hold Uptime     SRTT     RTO    Q     Seq
                                 (sec)           (ms)            Cnt   Num
0    172.16.3.2    Se0/0/0       14 00:25:05     40       1000   0     28
1    192.168.10.6  Se0/0/1       12 00:13:29     40       1000   0     31

Step 2: Display the EIGRP routing protocol parameters.

1. What command displays the parameters and other information about the current state of any active IPv4 routing protocol processes configured on the router? show ip protocols
2. On R2, enter the command you listed for 2a and answer the following questions:

How many routers are sharing routing information with R2? 2

Where is this information located under? Routing Information Sources

What is the maximum hop count? 100

Step 3: Verify end-to-end connectivity

PC1, PC2 and PC3 should now be able to ping each other. If not, troubleshoot your EIGRP configurations.
