Implementation of EIGRP:
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an advanced distance-
vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network for automating routing decisions
and configuration.
Difference between RIP and EIGRP?
RIP stands for Routing Information Protocol; IGRP stands for Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol; and EIGRP stands for Enhanced IGRP. The main difference
being RIP and IGRP are distance vector protocols; EIGRP is more of link state
protocol.
In EIGRP, routers have to be the same as they are all inside the same
autonomous system in order to speak to one another. Each router should have
same autonomous number, not a process id as in OSPF.
Administrative Distance (AD) value of EIGRP is 90. It is better than OSPF and
RIPv1 and RIPv2.
Commands:
- Open router CLI (Command line interface)
- Show IP route (Show the IP of routers that you have assigned them,
this should be written on second mode)
- Configure terminal (Third mode)
Here comes the steps for EIGRP;
- Router eigrp 1 (here ‘1’ indicates the autonomous system, should be
same in all the routers).
Now, suppose routing configuration of 2 networks
- Network 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 (here subnet mask optional)
- Network 120.20.0.0 (here subnet mask is optional)
- Exit (exit from the OSPF configuration)
- Control + Z (To come back to second mode)
- Write (To save what have you done)
Use these commands and configure every routers e.g. RouterA, RouterB.
