This course discusses the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), which improves Cisco's proprietary IGRP by using elements of distance-vector and link-state characteristics. Learners will examine IP routing with EIGRP, and discuss how EIGRP functions like a distance-vector protocol to find the optimal path on a network and utilize link-state properties.
Objectives:
Explain how EIGRP discovers, chooses, and manages routes
Configure EIGRP for VLSM and route summarization
Deploy EIGRP in several NBMA environments
Configure and verify EIGRP operations
Topics:
EIGRP Features and Operation
EIGRP Discovery, Selection, and Route Maintenance
The Neighbor Table
The Topology Table
The Routing Table
The EIGRP Discovery Process
The EIGRP Selection Process
EIGRP Support of VLSM and Route Summarization
Routing Traffic Transport and Database Synchronization
EIGRP Operation in an NBMA Environment
Stuck-in-Active
Verifying Enhanced IGRP Operation
