Eigrp

EIGRP is a proprietary distance-vector routing protocol developed by Cisco that uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the best routes between nodes. It uses a composite metric based on bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, and MTU to determine the best path and supports authentication, variable length subnet masking, and unequal cost load balancing. EIGRP configuration involves enabling the protocol on interfaces, adjusting timers and metrics, summarizing routes, and troubleshooting with show and debug commands.
