How to configure enhanced interior gateway routing protocol Lab
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 previous article.
In this article I will demonstrate an example of EIGRP Routingconfigurations. 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.
R4#show ip protocols

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.

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

|
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
|
