Objectives

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

Part 2: Configure and Verify EIGRP for IPv4

Part 3: Tune EIGRP for IPv4

Background / Scenario

EIGRP is an interior gateway routing protocol created by Cisco and published as open source in 2016 in RFC 7868. It is a very efficient distance-vector based protocol. In this lab, you will configure and examine EIGRP in two forms, Classic EIGRP and Named EIGRP. Named EIGRP is an update to Classic EIGRP that added multiprotocol support and default support for wide metrics.

Note: This lab is an exercise in configuring options available for EIGRP supporting IPv4 and does not necessarily reflect implementation best practices.

Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor.

Required Resources

3 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
2 Switches (Cisco 3650 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
1 PC (Choice of operating system with a terminal emulation program installed)
Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
