Lab 3.2.

3 Verifying Basic EIGRP Configuration

Note to instructor: In the graphic above, 192.168.0.0 will need to be added to network
statments for Router 1.

Objective
• Setup an IP addressing scheme for the network.
• Configure and verify Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) routing.

Background/Preparation
Cable a network similar to the one shown in the diagram. Any router that meets the interface
requirements displayed on the above diagram may be used. For example, router series 800, 1600,
1700, 2500, and 2600 or any such combination can be used. Please refer to the chart at the end of
the lab to correctly identify the interface identifiers to be used based on the equipment in the lab. The
configuration output used in this lab is produced from 1721 series routers. Any other router used may
produce slightly different output. Perform the following steps on each router unless specifically
instructed otherwise.
Start a HyperTerminal session.
Note: Go to the erase and reload instructions at the end of this lab. Perform those steps on all
routers in this lab assignment before continuing.

Step 1 Configure the routers
On the routers, enter the global configuration mode and configure the hostname as shown in the
chart. Then configure the console, virtual terminal and enable passwords. Next configure the
interfaces according to the chart. Finally, configure the IP hostnames. Do not configure the routing
protocol until specifically told to. If there are any problems configuring the router basics, refer to the
lab “Review of Basic Router configuration with RIP”.

 WARSAW(config-if)#exit
WARSAW(config)#interface ethernet 0
WARSAW(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
WARSAW(config-if)#no shutdown
WARSAW(config-if)#exit
WARSAW(config)#ip host PARIS 192.168.2.1 192.168.3.1

Step 2 Save the configuration information from the privileged EXEC command mode

Paris#copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]? [Enter]

Step 3 Configure the hosts with the proper IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
a. Each workstation should be able to ping the attached router. Troubleshoot as necessary.
Remember to assign a specific IP address and default gateway to the workstation. If running
Windows 98, check by using Start > Run > winipcfg. If running Windows 2000, check by
using the ipconfig command in a DOS window.

b. At this point the workstations will not be able to communicate with each other. The following
steps will demonstrate the process required to get communication working using EIGRP as the
routing protocol.
Host connected to router Paris
IP Address: 192.168.3.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.3.1

Host connected to router Warsaw

IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default
gateway: 192.168.1.1

Step 4 View the routers configuration and interface information

a. At the privileged EXEC mode prompt type:

Paris#show running-config

b. Using the show ip interface brief command, check the status of each interface.
c. What is the state of the interfaces on each router?
Paris:
Ethernet 0: Up
Serial 0: Up Warsaw:
Ethernet 0: Up
Serial 0: Up
d. Ping from one of the connected serial interfaces to the other.
e. What the ping successful? Yes
f. If the ping was not successful, troubleshoot the routers configuration until the ping is
successful.

Step 5 Configure EIGRP routing on router Paris
a. Enable the EIGRP routing process on Paris, and configure the networks it will advertise. Use
EIGRP autonomous system number 101.

Paris(config)#router eigrp 101

Paris(config-router)#network 192.168.3.0
Paris(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0
Paris(config-router)#network 192.168.0.0
Paris(config-router)#end
b. Show the routing table for the Paris router.

Paris#show ip route

c. Are there any EIGRP entries in the routing table? No

d. Why? EIGRP is not configured on Warsaw Step

6 Configure EIGRP routing on router Warsaw

a. Enable the EIGRP routing process on Warsaw, and configure the networks it will advertise. Use
EIGRP autonomous system number 101.

Warsaw(config)#router eigrp 101

Warsaw(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0 Warsaw(config-
router)#network 192.168.1.0
Warsaw(config-router)#end

b. Show the routing table for the Warsaw router.

Warsaw#show ip route

c. Are there any EIGRP entries in the routing table now? Yes
d. What is the address type in the EIGRP 192.168.2.0 route? C, Directly connected
e. What does the D mean in the first column of the routing table? The route was learned via EIGRP.

Step 7 Show EIGRP neighbors

a. From the Paris router show any neighbors connected using the show ip eigrp neighbors
command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt.
b. Are any neighbors shown? Yes Step

8 Test network connectivity

a. Ping the Paris host from the Warsaw host. Was it successful? Yes
b. If not troubleshoot as necessary.

Step 9 View the topology table

a. To view the topology table, issue the show ip eigrp topology all-links command.

b. How many routes are in passive mode? 3

 c. To view more specific information about a topology table entry, use an IP address with this
command:

Paris#show ip eigrp topology 192.168.1.0
