ASN

Autonomous System number

By default, EIGRP only uses the ______ and ______ delay settings when
calculating the metric.
bandwidth and delay

Cisco IOS uses the __________ command (where asn is an autonomous system
number [ASN]), plus one or more network net-id wildcard-mask subcommands, to
enable EIGRP on the router and on router interfaces.

CPE

Customer Premises Equipment

Diffusing Update ALgorithm

is the algorithm used by Cisco's EIGRP[1] routing protocol to ensure that a given route is
recalculated globally whenever it might cause a routing loop.

Each router analyzes its respective EIGRP topology table, choosing the lowest-
metric route to reach each subnet.

EIGRP

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

EIGRP DUAL

 EIGRP FD

Feasable Distance

EIGRP feature, which provides a means for subsecond detection of a failure in IP

connectivity between two neighboring routers
Bi-directional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

EIGRP follows what three general steps to add routes to the IP routing table
1) Neighbor Discovery

2) Topology Exchange

3) Choosing routes

EIGRP FS
Feasible Successor

EIGRP RD
Reported Distance

EIGRP RID
Router ID

EIGRP routers send Hello messages to discover potential neighboring EIGRP

routers and perform basic parameter checks to determine which routers should
become neighbors
EIGRP Neighbor Discovery

1st step to add EIGRP routes

EIGRP update messages are sent using what protocol?

Reliable Transport Protocol

EIGRP uses what kind of network for updates?

multicast
 How would an engineer configure the router to advertise the subnet while
disallowing EIGRP neighborships on the interface?
1) Enable EIGRP on the interface and configure passive-interface command

2) Do not enable EIGRP on the interface and advertise the connected route using route
redistribution (and the redistribute connected configuration command

List all successor and feasible successor routes known to this router. It doesn't list
all known topology details.
show ip eigrp topology

List known neighbors; does not list neighbors for which some mismatched
parameter is preventing a valid EIGRP neighbor relationship
show ip eigrp neighbors

Lists the contents of the network configuration commands for each routing
process, and a list of neighbor IP addresses
show ip protocols

List the contents of the IP routing table, listing EIGRP-learned routes with a code
of D on the left side of the output
show ip route

List the working interfaces on which EIGRP is enabled; it omits passive interfaces
show ip eigrp interfaces

Neighbors exchange full topology updates when the neighbor relationship comes
up, and then only partial updates as needed based on changes to the network
topology.
EIGRP Topology Exchange

2nd step to add EIGRP routes to table

 A preconfigured communications path between two Frame Relay DTEs, identified
by a local DLCI on each Frame Relay access link, that provides the functional
equivalent of a leased circuit but without a physical leased line for each VC.
permanent virtual circuit PVC

A state for a route in an EIGRP topology table that indicates that the router believes
that the route is stable and that it is not currently looking for any new routes to
that subnet.
EIGRP Passive Interface

T/F MTU size is listed in EIGRP Update messages, it is not directly used in metric
calculations.
TRUE

This EIGRP command sets five variables (K1 through K5), each of which weights the
metric calculation formula more or less heavily for various parts of the formula.
metric weights

This guarantees delivery of the EIGRP messages and helps EIGRP to avoid loops.
Reliable Transport Protocol

This term represents a range of Layer 2 WAN services in which the CE device
connects to the WAN service using some form of Ethernet
Metropolitan Ethernet (MetroE)

Uses Update messages to send topology information to neighbors.

These values are the metrics that EIGRP uses to calculate routes.
K-values

What command should be used to configure static EIGRP

neighbor command
 What five key EIGRP show commands
1) show ip eigrp interfaces

2) show ip protocols

3) show ip eigrp neighbors

4) show ip eigrp topology

5) show ip route

What's a good Hello/Hold timer ratio for EIGRP?

3:1

What three major steps does EIGRP to achieve its goal of learning the best available
loop-free routes?
1) Establish EIGRP neighbor relationshipsneighborshipswith other routers that share a
common subnet

2) Exchange EIGRP topology data with those neighbors.

3) Calculate the currently best IP route for each subnet, based on the known EIGRP topology
data, and add those best routes to the IP routing table.
