EIGRP• Cisco-proprietary routing protocol
Based on Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
• How does EIGRP improve on IGRP
Supports classless interdomain routing (CIDR)
Network designers can maximize address space
Variable-length subnet mask (VLSM)
Fast convergence times
Improved scalability
Superior handling of routing loops.
• Hybrid routing protocol combining
distance vector and link-state algorithms
• An ideal choice for large, multi-protocol networks built primarily on Cisco routers

EIGRP Versus IGRP
• Compatibility modeIGRP and EIGRP are interoperable
EIGRP offers multiprotocol support
• Metric calculation (Bandwidth + Delay)EIGRP - 32 bit metric for bandwidth and delay
IGRP – 24 bit metric for bandwidth and delay
IGRP Bandwidth = 1000000/bandwidth Kbps
EIGRP Bandwidth = (1000000/bandwidth Kbps)*256
IGRP Delay = delay/10
EIGRP Delay = (delay / 10) * 256

• Hop count
IGRP maximum hop is 255
EIGRP maximum hop is 224
• Automatic protocol redistribution
IGRP and EIGRP can share routes if both have the same autonomous system number
• Route tagging
EIGRP tags routes learned from IGRP as external
IGRP does not tag routes
• Holddown timers

EIGRP Terminology and Concepts
• Holds route and topology information in RAM
• EIGRP Tables
Neighbor Table
Topology Table
Routing Table
888
Neighbor Table• Lists adjacent routers
• Similar to OSPFs adjacency database
• One for each protocol EIGRP supports
• Neighbors send hello packets
Containing holddown timer
If neighbor does not send another hello packet before holddown timer expires the neighbor is unreachable or unoperational
When the hold time expires
Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) (EIGRP distance vector algorithm) recalculate the new topology
999
NB
• Fields in the neighbor table
Neighbor Address
Layer 3 address of neighbor router
Hold time
Time to wait before considering link down
Smooth Round Trip timer
Average time to send and receive packet
Queue count
Amount of IEGRP packets in queue
Sequence number
Number of last packet received from neighbor

Topology Table
• All EIGRP routing tables in the AS
• DUAL takes information from neighbor table and topology table and calculates the lowest cost routes to each destination
• Successor
Neighbor router that is the next hop in a least cost, loop-free path to a destination
• All learned routes to a destination are maintained in the topology table

Admin distance
Feasible Distance (e.g., 90) - the lowest metric (cost) to each destination
Route Source (via 200.10.10.10) – router that originally advertised that route
Reported Distance (e.g., 2195456) – cost of route as advertised by the neighbor router
Interface information – The interface through which the destination is reachable
Route status – passive (P) the route is stable and ready for use
active (A) the route is in the process of being recomputed by DUAL
FD/RD

EIGRP Routing Table
• Holds the best routes to a destination
• Routing table for each network protocol.
• A successor is a route selected as the primary route to use to reach a destination
The preferred root to the destination
DUAL calculates this using neighbor and topology tables
It is placed in the routing table
A copy if it is placed in the topology table
Up to 4 successor routes for any particular route
equal or unequal cost
identified as the best loop-free paths to a given destination
• A feasible successor (FS) is a backup route
only kept in the topology table
not mandatory
181818
EIGRP Design Features
• Rapid convergence
DUAL guarantees loop-free operation at every instant throughout a route computation allowing all routers involved in a topology change to synchronize at the same time
• Efficient use of bandwidth
partial, incremental updates to routers that need the information (bounded updates)
Hello packets keep routers in touch with each other
• Support for variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) and classless interdomain routing (CIDR)
• Multiple network-layer support
supports IP, IPX, and AppleTalk through protocol-dependent modules (PDMs).
• Independence from routed protocols.

EIGRP Technologies1. Neighbor discovery and recovery
Form adjacencies by sending Hello packet every five seconds
This allows EIGRP to
Dynamically learn of new routes that join their network
Identify routers that become either unreachable or inoperable
Rediscover routers that had previously been unreachable
2. Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP)
Transport-layer protocol guarantee ordered delivery of EIGRP packets to all neighbors – used for reliability of transmission
3. DUAL finite-state machine algorithm
Contains all the logic used to calculate and compare routes in an EIGRP network
DUAL tracks all the routes advertised by neighbors
DUAL also guarantees that each path is loop free
DUAL inserts lowest cost paths into the routing table (successor routes)
DUAL places a copy of successor routes in the topology table(feasability successor)
4. Protocol-dependent modules
Support for routed protocols, such as IP, IPX, and AppleTalk

EIGRP Data Strucutre
• EIGRP Packet TypesHello - discover, verify, rediscover neighbor routers
Sent unreliably – no acknowledgement needed
EIGRP routers send hellos to the multicast IP address 224.0.0.10
Default hello interval depends on the bandwidth of the interface
Acknowledgment - indicate receipt of any EIGRP packet during a reliable exchange
Update - unicast update packets sent to new neighbor so that it can add to its topology table
Query – to find specific information about a router
Reply – response to a query

EIGRP Configuration
• router(config)#router eigrp autonomous-system-number
AS-number identifies all routers within the internetwork
• router(config-router)#network network-number
Specify all connected networks only
• router(config-if)#bandwidth kilobits
Set the bandwidth for the serial link
• router(config-if)#eigrp log-neighbor-changes
enables the logging of neighbor adjacency changes to monitor the stability of the routing system and to help detect problems
232323
• Why is it necessary to set the bandwidth
n/w may be unable to converge if bandwidth setting does not match actual bandwidth
A suboptimal route may be chosen as the best path to a destination if the bandwidth setting is higher than the actual bandwidth
242424
Configuring EIGRP summarization • EIGRP automatically summarizes routes at the classful
boundary
summarization keeps routing tables as compact as possible
• router(config-router)#no auto-summary Turns off route summarization when manually configuring
• To manually configure a summary address
router(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp autonomous-system-number ip-address mask administrative-distance
• Administrative distance for EIGRP summary routes
Default is 5
Can be configured to between 1 and 255
252525
• It is necessary to configure the bandwidth setting on an EIGRP interface rather than leaving it at the default setting because
A suboptimal route may be chosen as the best path to a destination if the bandwidth setting is higher than the actual bandwidth of the link
The network may be unable to converge if the bandwidth setting does not match the actual bandwidth of the link.

Troubleshooting RIP
• RIP Problems
Most common problem RIP V1prevent variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) being advertised.

Network statements are missing or incorrectly assigned.
The outgoing interface is down.
The advertised network interface is down.
• Troubleshooting

Turn this off using no debug ip rip, no debug all, or undebug all

Troubleshooting EIGRP
• Possible reasons why EIGRP is not working correctly
Layer 1 or Layer 2 connectivity issues exist
most common reasons for a missing neighbor is failure on the actual link
Autonomous system numbers on EIGRP routers are mismatched.
The link may be congested or down.
The outgoing interface is down.
The advertised network interface is down.
Auto-summarization is enabled on routers with discontiguous subnets.
Use no auto-summary to disable automatic network summarization
