Routing Protocols and Concepts Lab 06: EIGRP configuration

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

Cable a network according to the Topology Diagram.

Erase the startup configuration and reload a router to the default state.
Perform basic configuration tasks on a router.
Configure and activate interfaces.
Configure EIGRP routing on all routers.
Verify EIGRP routing using show commands.
Disable automatic summarization.
Configure manual summarization.
Configure a static default route.
Propagate default route to EIGRP neighbors.
Document the EIGRP configuration.

Scenario
In this lab activity, you will learn how to configure the routing protocol EIGRP using the network shown in
the Topology Diagram. A loopback address will be used on the R2 router to simulate a connection to an
ISP, where all traffic that is not destined for the local network will be sent. Some segments of the network
DCCN - EEE314

have been subnetted using VLSM. EIGRP is a classless routing protocol that can be used to provide
subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will allow VLSM subnet information to be
propagated throughout the network.

Task 1: Prepare the Network.

Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram.
You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the topology.

Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the routers.

Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations,

Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines:
1. Configure the router hostname.
2. Disable DNS lookup.
3. Configure an EXEC mode password.
4. Configure a message-of-the-day banner.
5. Configure a password for console connections.
6. Configure a password for VTY connections.

Task 3: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses.

Step 1: Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers.

Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers with the IP addresses from the table under the
Topology Diagram.

Routing Protocols and Concepts Lab 06: EIGRP configuration

Step 2: Verify IP addressing and interfaces.

Use the show ip interface brief command to verify that the IP addressing is correct and that the
interfaces are active.
When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.

Step 3: Configure Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3.

Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3 with the IP addresses and default gateways
from the table under the Topology Diagram.

Task 4: Configure EIGRP on the R1 Router.

Step 1: Enable EIGRP.

Use the router eigrp command in global configuration mode to enable EIGRP on the R1 router. Enter
a process ID of 1 for the autonomous-system parameter.
R1(config)#router eigrp 1
R1(config-router)#

Step 2: Configure classful network 172.16.0.0.

Once you are in the Router EIGRP configuration sub-mode, configure the classful network 172.16.0.0 to
be included in the EIGRP updates that are sent out of R1.
R1(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
DCCN - EEE314

R1(config-router)#

The router will begin to send EIGRP update messages out each interface belonging to the 172.16.0.0
network. EIGRP updates will be sent out of the FastEthernet0/0 and Serial0/0/0 interfaces because they
are both on subnets of the 172.16.0.0 network.

Step 3: Configure the router to advertise the 192.168.10.4/30 network attached to the Serial0/0/1
interface.
Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to advertise only the subnet and not the
entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.
Note: Think of a wildcard mask as the inverse of a subnet mask. The inverse of the subnet mask
255.255.255.252 is 0.0.0.3. To calculate the inverse of the subnet mask, subtract the subnet mask from
255.255.255.255:

255.255.255.255
– 255.255.255.252 Subtract the subnet mask
-------------------
0. 0. 0. 3 Wildcard mask

R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3

R1(config-router)#

When you are finished with the EIGRP configuration for R1, return to privileged EXEC mode and save the
current configuration to NVRAM.

Task 5: Configure EIGRP on the R2 and R3 Routers.

Step 1: Enable EIGRP routing on the R2 router using the router eigrp command.
Use a process ID of 1.
R2(config)#router eigrp 1
R2(config-router)#

Step 2: Use the classful address 172.16.0.0 to include the network for the FastEthernet0/0
interface.
R2(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
R2(config-router)#
%DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 1: Neighbor 172.16.3.1 (Serial0/0/0) is up:

Notice that DUAL sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor relationship with
another EIGRP router has been established.
What is the IP address of the EIGRP neighbor router?

What interface on the R2 router is the neighbor adjacent to?

DCCN - EEE314

Step 3: Configure the R2 router to advertise the 192.168.10.8/30 network attached to the Serial0/0/1
interface.
1. Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to advertise only the subnet and
not the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.
2. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode.
R2(config-router)#network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3
R2(config-router)#end
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
R2#

Step 4: Configure EIGRP on the R3 router using the router eigrp and network commands.
1. Use a process ID of 1.
2. Use the classful network address for the network attached to the FastEthernet0/0 interface.
3. Include the wildcard masks for the subnets attached to the Serial0/0/0 and Serial 0/0/1 interfaces.
4. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode.

R3#

Notice that when the networks for the serial links from R3 to R1 and R3 to R2 are added to the EIGRP
configuration, DUAL sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor relationship with
another EIGRP router has been established.

Task 6: Verify EIGRP Operation.

Step 1: View neighbors.

On the R1 router, use the show ip eigrp neighbors command to view the neighbor table and verify
that EIGRP has established an adjacency with the R2 and R3 routers. You should be able to see the IP
address of each adjacent router and the interface that R1 uses to reach that EIGRP neighbor.
R1#show ip eigrp neighbors

R1#

Step 2: View routing protocol information.

On the R1 router, use the show ip protocols command to view information about the routing
DCCN - EEE314

protocol operation. Notice that the information that was configured in Task 5, such as protocol, process
ID, and networks, is shown in the output. The IP addresses of the adjacent neighbors are also shown.

Task7: Examine EIGRP Routes in the Routing Tables.

Step1: View the routing table on the R1 router.

EIGRP routes are denoted in the routing table with a D, which stands for DUAL (Diffusing Update
Algorithm), which is the routing algorithm used by EIGRP.
R1#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 4 subnets, 3 masks

D 172.16.0.0/16 is a summary, 01:16:19, Null0
C 172.16.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
D 172.16.2.0/24 [90/2172416] via 172.16.3.2, 01:16:20, Serial0/0/0
C 172.16.3.0/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
D 192.168.1.0/24 [90/2172416] via 192.168.10.6, 01:06:18, Serial0/0/1
192.168.10.0/24 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks
D 192.168.10.0/24 is a summary, 01:06:07, Null0

R1#

Notice that the 172.16.0.0/16 parent network is variably subnetted with three child routes using either a
/24 or /30 mask. Also notice that EIGRP has automatically included a summary route to Null0 for the
172.16.0.0/16 network. The 172.16.0.0/16 route does not actually represent a path to reach the parent
network, 172.16.0.0/16. If a packet destined for 172.16.0.0/16 does not match one of the level 2 child
routes, it is sent to the Null0 interface.
172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 4 subnets, 3 masks
D 172.16.0.0/16 is a summary, 01:16:19, Null0
C 172.16.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
D 172.16.2.0/24 [90/2172416] via 172.16.3.2, 01:16:20, Serial0/0/0
C 172.16.3.0/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0

The 192.168.10.0/24 Network is also variably subnetted and includes a Null0 route.

192.168.10.0/24 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks

D 192.168.10.0/24 is a summary, 01:06:07, Null0
C 192.168.10.4/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1
D 192.168.10.8/30 [90/2681856] via 192.168.10.6, 01:06:07, Serial0/0/1

Step 2: View the routing table on the R3 router.

The routing table for R3 shows that both R1 and R2 are automatically summarizing the 172.16.0.0/16
network and sending it as a single routing update. Because of automatic summarization, R1 and R2 are
not propagating the individual subnets. Because R3 is getting two equal cost routes for 172.16.0.0/16
from both R1 and R2, both routes are included in the routing table.

Task 8: Configure EIGRP Metrics.

Step 1: View the EIGRP metric information.

Use the show interface serial0/0/0 command to view the EIGRP metric information for the
Serial0/0/0 interface on the R1 router. Notice the values that are shown for the bandwidth, delay,
reliability, and load.
R1#show interface serial0/0/0
Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is HD64570
Internet address is 172.16.3.1/30
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255
DCCN - EEE314

Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)

<output omitted>

Step 2: Modify the bandwidth of the Serial interfaces.

On most serial links, the bandwidth metric will default to 1544 Kbits. If this is not the actual bandwidth of
the serial link, the bandwidth will need to be changed so that the EIGRP metric can be calculated
correctly.
For this lab, the link between R1 and R2 will be configured with a bandwidth of 64 kbps, and the link
between R2 and R3 will be configured with a bandwidth of 1024 kbps. Use the bandwidth command to
modify the bandwidth of the Serial interfaces of each router.
R1 router:
R1(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R1(config-if)#bandwidth 64

R2 router:
R2(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R2(config-if)#bandwidth 64
R2(config)#interface serial0/0/1
R2(config-if)#bandwidth 1024

R3 router:
R3(config)#interface serial0/0/1
R3(config-if)#bandwidth 1024

Note: The bandwidth command only modifies the bandwidth metric used by routing protocols, not the
physical bandwidth of the link.

Step 2: Answer the following questions:

What is the best path to PC1?

A successor is a neighboring router that is currently being used for packet forwarding. A successor is the
least-cost route to the destination network. The IP address of a successor is shown in a routing table
entry right after the word “via”.
What is the IP address and name of the successor router in this route?

Feasible distance (FD) is the lowest calculated metric to reach that destination. FD is the metric listed in
the routing table entry as the second number inside the brackets.
What is the feasible distance to the network that PC1 is on?

Task 10: Determine if R1 is a Feasible Successor for the Route from R2 to the 192.168.1.0
Network.
A feasible successor is a neighbor who has a viable backup path to the same network as the successor.
In order to be a feasible successor, R1 must satisfy the feasibility condition. The feasibility condition (FC)
is met when a neighbor’s reported distance (RD) to a network is less than the local router’s feasible
distance to the same destination network.

What is the feasible distance to this network?

What is the IP address of the feasible successor?

What is the reported distance for 192.168.1.0 from the feasible successor?

What would be the feasible distance to 192.168.1.0 if R1 became the successor?

Task 12: Disable EIGRP Automatic Summarization.

Step 1: Examine the routing table of the R3 router.

Notice that R3 is not receiving individual routes for the 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and 172.16.3.0/24
subnets. Instead, the routing table only has a summary route to the classful network address of
172.16.0.0/16 through the R1 router. This will cause packets that are destined for the 172.16.2.0/24
network to be sent through the R1 router instead of being sent straight to the R2 router.

Task 13: Configure Manual Summarization.

Step 1: Add loopback addresses to R3 router.

Add two loopback addresses, 192.168.2.1/24 and 192.168.3.1/24, to the R3 router. These virtual
interfaces will be used to represent networks to be manually summarized along with the 192.168.1.0/24
LAN.

Step 4: Apply manual summarization to outbound interfaces.

The routes to the 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24 networks can be summarized in
the single network 192.168.0.0/22. Use the ip summary-address eigrp as-number network-
address subnet-mask command to configure manual summarization on each of the outbound
interfaces connected to EIGRP neighbors.
R3(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R3(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0
