EIGRP Configuration

In this module we will learn EIGRP configuration in cisco routers. EIGRP is hybrid form of IGRP protocol.
Below is the network architecture with all the configuration commands. Try to create similar type of network in Packet tracer and configure the routers.

Note: EIGRP supports VLSM  i.e. it is a classless protocol. IGRP is a classfull protocol i.e. it does not understand Subnets. We will discuss in detail about VLSM concept in future sessions.

CONFIGURATION:

R1:
After assigning desired IP addresses to the serial and fast Ethernet interfaces, clock rate will be set following by no shutdown command.
Router command is used to configure the router and  Network command is used to mention the network where EIGRP protocols will flow.
Note: Here 444 is the autonomous systems numbers. It should to be same in both the routers for the communication to happen.

R2:
R2 configuration is similar to R1.

VERIFICATION:

Show commands:
Router#sh ip Eigrp topology
Router#sh ip Eigrp neighbor

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