EIGRP – Advertising a Default Route to Neighbors

In this lab I use five Cisco 7200 routers [IOS 12.4(24)T] to demonstrate how to advertise a default route to neighbors in EIGRP. Below is the network diagram for this lab.

EIGRP – Best Path Selection

By default EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay of the line to determine the best path to a remote network. However, if desired, EIGRP can use a composite of four metrics: bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load. Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is … Continue reading

Setup and Troubleshoot EIGRP

I discussed Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) briefly in a prior blog, Load Balancing with EIGRP, however, in this lab I use two Cisco 3725 routers [IOS 12.4(15)T10] to demonstrate how to configure EIGRP; additionally, I’ll discuss some useful … Continue reading

Load Balancing with EIGRP

RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF are all routing protocols that support equal cost load balancing but IGRP and EIGRP can also support unequal cost load balancing. However, unlike IGRP, EIGRP supports VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking). Below I use … Continue reading
