What Is Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP)?

• Supports IP and IPv6 (and other routed protocols) via protocol dependent modules

• Considered classless• Support for VLSM/CIDR• Support for summaries and discontiguous

networks• Efficient neighbor discovery• Communication via Reliable Transport Protocol

(RTP)• Best path selection via Diffusing Update

Algorithm (DUAL)

EIGRP for IP

• Route updates sent only when a change occurs – multicast on 224.0.0.10

• Hello messages sent to neighbors every 5 seconds (60 seconds in most WANs)

Enhanced IGRP

EIGRP EIGRP

hello

EIGRP Terminology

Neighbor Table—IPNext Hop Interface Router

Topology Table—IPDestination 1 SuccessorDestination 1 Feasible Successor

Routing Table—IPDestination 1 Successor

Note: A feasible successor is a backup route and stored in the Topology table

EIGRP Tables

• The neighbor table and topology table are held in RAM and are maintained through the use of hello and update packets.

Enhanced IGRP

EIGRP EIGRP

hello

To see all feasible successor routes known to a router, use the show ip eigrp topology command

Successor routes

• Successor route is used by EIGRP to forward traffic to a destination

• A successor routes may be backed up by a feasible successor route

• Successor routes are stored in both the topology table and the routing table

Choosing Routes

• EIGRP uses a composite metric to pick the best path: bandwidth and delay of the line

• EIGRP can load balance across six unequal cost paths to a remote network (4 by default)

Shows the entire routing table

show ip route eigrp

Shows only EIGRP entries in the routing table

show ip eigrp neighbors

Shows all EIGRP neighbors

show ip eigrp topology Shows entries in the EIGRP topology table

show ip protocols

Shows routing protocols configuration

debug eigrp packet

Shows Hello packets sent/received

debug ip eigrp events Shows EIGRP changes and updates

Show IP Route

D is for “Dual”

[90/2172] is the administrative distance and cost of the route. The cost of the route is a composite metric comprised from the bandwidth and delay of the line

•Open standard•Shortest path first (SPF) algorithm•Link-state routing protocol (vs. distance vector)•Can be used to route between AS’s

Introducing OSPF

OSPF Hierarchical Routing

• Consists of areas and autonomous systems• Minimizes routing update traffic• Supports VLSM• Unlimited hop count

Link State Vs. Distance Vector

Link State:• Provides common view of entire topology• Calculates shortest path• Utilizes event-triggered updates• Can be used to route between AS’s

Distance Vector:•Exchanges routing tables with neighbors•Utilizes frequent periodic updates

Non-DRAdjacencies

OSFP Neighbors• OSPF uses hello packets to create

adjacencies and maintain connectivity with neighbor routers

• OSPF uses the multicast address 224.0.0.5

Hello?224.0.0.5

•Hello packets provides dynamic neighbor discovery•Hello Packets maintains neighbor relationships•Hello packets and LSA’s from other routers help build and maintain the topological database

Router(config-router)#network address mask area area-id

Assigns networks to a specific OSPF area

Router(config)#router ospf process-id

Defines OSPF as the IP routing protocolNote: The process ID is locally significant and is needed to identify a unique instance of an OSPF database

Configuring Single Area OSPF

OSPF Example

Configuring Wildcards

If you want to advertise a partial octet (subnet), you need to use wildcards.– 0.0.0.0 means all octets match exactly– 0.0.0.255 means that the first three

match exactly, but the last octet can be any value

After that, you must remember your block sizes….

Wildcard

The wildcard address is always one less than the block size….– 192.168.10.8/30 = 0.0.0.3– 192.168.10.48/28 = 0.0.0.15– 192.168.10.96/27 = 0.0.0.31– 192.168.10.128/26 = 0.0.0.63

Wildcard Configuration of the Lab_B Router

Router#show ip ospf interface

Verifying the OSPF Configuration

Displays area-ID and adjacency information

Router#show ip protocols

Verifies that OSPF is configured

Router#show ip route

Displays all the routes learned by the router

Router#show ip ospf neighbor

Displays OSPF-neighbor information on a per-interface basis

Electing the DR and BDR

• OSPF sends Hellos which elect DRs and BDRs

• Router form adjacencies with DRs and BDRs in a multi-access environment

Multicast Hellos are sent and compared

Router with Highest Priority is Elected as DR

Router with 2nd Highest Priority is Elected as BDR

Router ID (RID)

Each router in OSPF needs to be uniquely identified to properly arrange them in the Neighbor tables.

Configuring Loopback Interfaces

Router ID (RID): – Number by which the router is known to OSPF– Default: The highest IP address on an active interface at the

moment of OSPF process startup– Can be overridden by a loopback interface: Highest IP address

of any active loopback interface – also called a logical interface

Interface PrioritiesWhat is the default OSPF interface priority?
