Lab 6.1.1.1 EIGRP Routing Protocol

Objective:

Enable EIGRP routing protocol.

(Note: This is a hybrid Cisco proprietary routing protocol)

Scenario:

You have been hired by the Lubbock ISP to setup an EIGRP WAN.

(Note: Erase all routers before beginning)

Tasks:

From the "Router A" console

  1. Cable the lab as shown above.
  2. To configure the fastethernet interfaces and turn on the EIGRP routing protocol issue the following commands:
  • router-a(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
  • router-a(config-if)#ip address 206.202.16.1 255.255.255.0
  • router-a(config-if)#no shutdown
  • router-a(config)#router eigrp 44
  • router-a(config-router)#network 206.202.16.0
  • router-a(config-router)#^Z

From the "Router B" console

  1. Issue the following commands:
  • router-b(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
  • router-b(config-if)#ip address 206.202.16.2 255.255.255.0
  • router-b(config-if)#no shutdown
  • router-b(config)#interface serial 0/0
  • router-b(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
  • router-b(config-if)#clockrate 56000
  • router-b(config-if)#no shutdown
  • router-b(config)#router eigrp 44
  • router-b(config-router)#network 206.202.16.0
  • router-b(config-router)#network 192.168.0.0
  • router-b(config-router)#^Z
  1. Follow the same procedure with different addresses on the other two routers
  2. Enter show running-config, show ip route, and show ip protocol on each router:

Is the router eigrp protocol turned on and advertising the networks you defined .

From the "Router B" console

  1. Enter the show ip eigrp neighbors command and report below the neighbors listed
  2. Enter show ip eigrp topology

Are there any successors

  1. Enter show ip protocols

What is the default administrative distance of EIGRP?

Why is there a difference in the distances?

  1. Enter the show ip route command and report below the routes listed
