IGRP Configuration

Welcome again! As I mentioned in earlier post, RIP considers only the distance and direction for routing. So we came up with IGRP protocol which considers bandwidth, distance , load , delay and other factors.
In this module, we will learn about IGRP configuration in cisco routers.
As shown below, I have used similar type of network as used for RIP configuration. All configuration commands, for every router, has been explained in the diagram. Try to create similar network using Packet tracer tool and configure the routers.

CONFIGURATION:

R1:
First we have assigned ip address to the interfaces, followed by the clock rate and no shut down command.
Then we configured IGRP protocol using "Router IGRP 222" command. Then mention the Network ID where you want the protocol to flow.
Note: Here 222 is the Autonomous System number. It may range from 1 to 65535. As a very large network is difficult to manage, the network is divided into autonomous systems and are numbered. It is done to manage the network and for administration convenience. Routers with the same autonomous systems only will communicate.

R2:
R2 configuration is similar to R1. Mention the same autonomous number as used in R1.

VERIFICATION:

To check dynamic routing protocols:
Router#sh ip protocols

Show commands:
Router#sh ip IGRP

*you can use other commands, mentioned in previous posts, to verify configuration.


Thank you for reading this post. Looking forward to seeing you in next post :-)

  1. Can you tell me, what is the packet tracer you was using in this entry?
