Detailed Information

In this module, you will learn the basic concepts behind EIGRP. You will also do hands-on Configuration Labs to learn some fundamental concepts of EIGRP, and a Challenge Lab to test your troubleshooting knowledge.

Objectives:

At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:

• Describe the Reliable Transport Protocol and its function in EIGRP.
• Summarize the neighbor discovery and recovery processes.
• Discuss the process of EIGRP metric calculation and list the variables used.
• Describe how EIGRP determines which paths are loop free.
• Describe the process used to clear bad routes from EIGRP routing tables.
• Describe the query process used to find paths to lost destinations.
• Describe address summarization.
• Summarize the administrative distance used by EIGRP to select routes.
• Describe redistribution.
• Discuss load balancing, over both equal- and unequal-cost paths.
• Describe the three approaches to configuring default routing.

Labs(5):

• Configuration Lab: Configuration, Updates and Acknowledgements, and Debugging
• Configuration Lab: Load Balancing with Variance
• Configuration Lab: Redistribution
• Configuration Lab: Redistribution with an Autonomous System
