LAB 7-CONFIGURING DYNAMIC ROUTING - EIGRP
BACKGROUND
In this activity, you will implement basic EIGRP configurations including network commands,
passive interfaces and disabling automatic summarization. You will then verify your EIGRP
configuration using a variety of show commands and testing end-to-end connectivity.
LAB OBJECTIVES

Verify EIGRP Routing

SET UP THE ROUTERS
1. OPEN EACH ROUTER BY DOUBLE-CLICKING ON IT.
2. GO TO THE "PHYSICAL" TAB.
3. POWER OFF THE ROUTER USING THE POWER BUTTON.
4. INSTALL THE NIM-2T MODULE INTO THE FIRST SLOT ON THE
LEFT TO ENABLE SERIAL CONNECTIONS.
5. POWER THE ROUTER BACK ON.
PART1: CONFIGURE EIGRP
STEP 1: ENABLE THE EIGRP ROUTING PROCESS.
Enable the EIGRP routing process on each router using AS number 1. The configuration for R1
is shown.
R1(config)# router eigrp 1
R2(config)# router eigrp 1
R3(config)# router eigrp 1
What is the range of numbers that can be used for AS numbers? 1 – 65,535
STEP 2: ADVERTISE DIRECTLY CONNECTED NETWORKS.
a. Use the show ip route command to display the directly connected networks on each router.
2
How can you tell the difference between subnet addresses and interface addresses? Subnets
are identified with a "C" and link addresses are identified with an "L".
b. On each router, configure EIGRP to advertise the specific directly connected subnets. The
configuration for R1 is shown.
R1(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255
R1(config-router)# network 172.16.3.0 0.0.0.3
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3
R2(config-router)# network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255
R2(config-router)# network 172.16.3.0 0.0.0.3
R2(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3
R3(config-router)# network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3
STEP 3: CONFIGURE PASSIVE INTERFACES.
Configure the LAN interfaces to not advertise EIGRP updates. The configuration for R1 is
shown.
R1(config-router)# passive-interface Gig 0/0/0
R2(config-router)# passive-interface Gig 0/0/0
R3(config-router)# passive-interface Gig 0/0/0
STEP 4: DISABLE AUTOMATIC SUMMARIZATION.
The topology contains discontiguous networks. Therefore, disable automatic summarization on
each router. The configuration for R1 is shown.
R1(config-router)# no auto-summary
R2(config-router)# no auto-summary
R3(config-router)# no auto-summary
Note: Prior to IOS 15 auto-summary had to be manually disabled.
STEP 5: SAVE THE CONFIGURATIONS.
LAB RESULTS & VERIFICATION
STEP 1: EXAMINE NEIGHBOR ADJACENCIES.
c. Which command displays the neighbors discovered by EIGRP? show ip eigrp neighbors
d. All three routers should have two neighbors listed. The output for R1 should look similar to
the following:
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 1
H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq
(sec) (ms) Cnt Num
3
0 172.16.3.2 Se0/0/0 14 00:25:05 40 1000 0 28
1 192.168.10.6 Se0/0/1 12 00:13:29 40 1000 0 31
STEP 2: DISPLAY THE EIGRP ROUTING PROTOCOL PARAMETERS.
e. What command displays the parameters and other information about the current state of any
active IPv4 routing protocol processes configured on the router? show ip protocols
f. On R2, enter the command you listed for 2a and answer the following questions:
How many routers are sharing routing information with R2? 2
Where is this information located under? Routing Information Sources
What is the maximum hop count? 100
Step 2: Verify end-to-end connectivity
PC1, PC2 and PC3 should now be able to ping each other. If not, troubleshoot your EIGRP
configurations.
LAB CONCLUSION
To reach network convergence or full connectivity using dynamic EIGRP:
To configure EIGRP on each router with appropriate directly connected network
statements with wildcard subnet masks
To verify all subnets are present in all routers ’routing tables after the network
converges
To verify connectivity using ping, tracert.
