7b - Eigrp

EIGRP is an enhanced interior gateway routing protocol that provides for efficient neighbor discovery, reliable transport of routing updates, and flexible path selection using the Diffusing Update Algorithm. It supports routing for multiple network layer protocols including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. EIGRP forms neighbor relationships and exchanges full routing tables initially, then only sends incremental updates. It uses multicast and unicast delivery and acknowledgments to ensure reliable transport of routing information.

Operation
 Using EIGRP to Support

Large Networks
 Verifying EIGRP

2
EIGRP Features and Operation

3
EIGRP Features and Operation

 Protocol-dependent modules
 Efficient neighbor discovery
 Communication via Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP)
 Best path selection via Diffusing Update Algorithm
(DUAL)

4
Protocol-Dependent Modules

 Provides routing support for multiple Network layer


protocol:
 IP
 IPX
 AppleTalk

5
Neighbor Discovery

 Three condition that must be met for


neighborship establishment:
 Hello or ACK received
 AS number match
 Identical metrics (K values)
 EIGRP advertise its entire routing table when it
discover a new neighbor.
 Only changes to the routing table are
propagated from then on.

6
Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP)

 Proprietary protocol.
 Uses multicast and unicast.
 Multicast address 224.0.0.10.
 For each multicast it sends out, it maintains a list of the
neighbors who have replied.
 If EIGRP doesn’t get a reply from a neighbor, it will
switch to using unicasts to resend the same data.
 After 16 unicast attempts  neighbor is declared dead.

7
Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)

 Backup route determination if one is available.


 Support of Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs).
 Dynamic route recoveries.
 Sending out queries for an alternate route if no route
can be found.

8
EIGRP’s Terms

 Feasible distance  the best metric along all path


to a remote network.
 Reported distance  the metric of a remote
network, as reported by a neighbor.
 Feasible successor  backup route  rd < fd

9
Using EIGRP to Support
Large Networks

10
Multiple AS

 Only routers that have the same AS (autonomous


system) numbers share routes.
 Support multiple distinct AS  use redistribution.
 Internal EIGRP route  administrative distance 90.
 External EIGRP route  administrative distance 170.
