have any question.
3. Learning Objectives
• What is the router and Function of router.
• type of routing.
• What is the static routing.
• What is the dynamic routing.
• What is the EIGRP.
• EIGRP Metric Calculation.
• Basic EIGRP Configuration.
4. Router
• Functions of a Router
–Find the best Path Selections
–Forwarding packets to destination
• Router is a networking device that
forwards data packets between computer
networks.
5. Type of routing.
• A router can learn about remote networks in
one of two ways:
–Manually, from configured static routes
–Automatically, from a dynamic routing protocol
• Purpose of a static route
–A manually configured route used when routing
from a network to a stub network
6. static routing
• Advantages of static routing
-Easy to configure
-No extra resources are needed
-More secure
• Disadvantages of static routing
-Network changes require manual
reconfiguration
-Does not scale well in large topologies
7. Dynamic Routing Protocols
• Function(s) of Dynamic Routing
Protocols:
-Dynamically share information between
routers.
-Automatically update routing table
when topology changes.
-Determine best path to a destination.
8. Classifying Routing Protocols
• Dynamic routing protocols are grouped
according to characteristics. Examples include:
-RIP
-IGRP
-EIGRP
-OSPF
-IS-IS
-BGP
9. Routing Protocols Metrics
• Metric
–A value used by a routing protocol to
determine which routes are better than others.
• Metrics used in IP routing protocols
-Bandwidth
-Cost
-Delay
-Hop count
-Load
-Reliability
10. Routing Protocols Metrics
• The Metric Field in the
Routing Table
• Metric used for each
routing protocol
-RIP -
-IGRP & EIGRP -
Bandwidth (used by
default), Delay (used by
default), Load, Reliability
-IS-IS & OSPF
hop count
– Cost,
Bandwidth
11. Administrative Distance of a Route
• Purpose of Administrative Distance
–It’s a numeric value that specifies the preference of a
particular route
12. EIGRP
Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP)
Purpose of RTP
–Used by EIGRP to transmit and receive EIGRP packets
Characteristics of RTP
–Involves both reliable & unreliable delivery of EIGRP packet
Reliable delivery requires acknowledgment from destination
Unreliable delivery does not require an acknowledgement from destination
–Packets can be sent
Unicast
Multicast
–Using address 224.0.0.10
13. EIGRP
EIGRP’s 5 Packet Types
• Hello packets
–Used to discover & form adjacencies
with neighbors
14. EIGRP
• Update packets
–Used to propagate routing
information
• Acknowledgement packets
–Used to acknowledge receipt of
update, query & reply packets
15. EIGRP
• Query & Reply packets
Used by DUAL (diffusing update algorithm)
for searching of networks
Query packets
• -Can use
Unicast
Multicast
Reply packet
• -Use only
unicast
16. EIGRP
• Purpose of Hello Protocol
–To discover & establish adjacencies with
neighbor routers
• Characteristics of hello protocol
–Time interval for sending hello packet
Most networks it is every 5 seconds
Multipoint non broadcast multi-access networks
–Unicast every 60 seconds
-Holdtime
This is the maximum time router should wait
before declaring a neighbor down
Default holdtime
– 3 times hello interval
17. EIGRP
Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)
–Purpose
• EIGRP’s primary method for preventing routing loops.
–Advantage of using DUAL
• Provides fast convergence time by keeping a list of loop-
free backup routes.
18. EIGRP
Administrative Distance (AD)
–Defined as the trustworthiness
of the source route
EIGRP default administrative
distances
–Summary routes = 5
–Internal routes = 90
–External routes = 170
20. EIGRP Metric Calculation
EIGRP Composite Metric & the K Values
EIGRP uses the following values in its composite
metric
-Bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load
The composite metric used by EIGRP
–formula used has values K1 K5
–K1 & K3 = 1
–all other K values = 0
21. EIGRP Metric Calculation
EIGRP Metrics
Delay is the defined as the
measure of time it takes for a
packet to traverse a route
-it is a static value based on link type to which
interface is connected
23. Basic EIGRP Configuration
• EIGRP autonomous
system number
actually functions as a
process ID
• Example
Router(config)#router eigrp
autonomous-system
24. Basic EIGRP Configuration
• Verifying EIGRP
• show ip eigrp neighbors
• show ip protocols
• show ip route
• show interface
