Assignment Dynamic Routing
Assignment Dynamic Routing
for SomeCompany to query the ISP’s upstream routers for the best routing decisions. This will allow
SomeCompany better traffic management and improved network performance. This process requires
SomeCompany to deploy dynamic routing into their network. THE CTO has decided to implement
dynamic routing first to the routers in building 1 and building 2.
Router – Building 1
Router – Building 2
Create the commands to configure the Cisco Routers for Building 1 and Building 2 to configure
EIGRP or OSPF.
Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course
Calendar for specific due dates.
Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the
".docx" extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed
by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is
shown below:

So the goal is to configure router building 1 and router building 2 using dynamic routing (EIGRP or OSPF).
EIGRP:
Building Router 1:
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#network 172.18.16.0
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#network 172.18.32.0
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#network 172.18.48.0
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#network 172.18.176.0
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#network 172.18.176.4
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#end
Building Router 2:
BuildingRouter2#configure terminal
BuildingRouter2#router eigrp 10
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.64.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.80.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.96.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.112.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.128.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.176.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.176.8
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#end
Building Router 1:
BuildingRouter1#router eigrp 10
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#end
Building Router 2:
BuildingRouter2#configure terminal
BuildingRouter2#router eigrp 10
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#end
That’s it! We use one line for all the networks. Because originally, we use 172.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 for our
network design. We just used subnetting for better allocation. Though, I’m not sure what your teacher
will see correctly since this is assignment for network fundamentals.
Using Wildcard mask in EIGRP is totally optional. It is usually used when you want to use exact amount
of bits in the network.
Basic:
OSPF:
Building Router 1:
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#end
Building Router 2:
BuildingRouter2#configure terminal
BuildingRouter2#router eigrp 10
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.64.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.80.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.96.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.112.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.128.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.176.0
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#network 172.18.176.8
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#end
Best Practice
Building Router 1:
BuildingRouter1#router ospf 10
BuildingRouter1(config-router)#end
Building Router 2:
BuildingRouter2#configure terminal
BuildingRouter2#router ospf 10
BuildingRouter2(config-router)#end
***Process ID in OSPF doesn’t need to match to form neighbor relationship unlike EIGRP’s AS number.
In our example I didn’t use supernetting. I just used simple technique using the original (and very large
network) which is /16.
Supernetting is the process of combining multiple routes listed in a routing table and listing them as one
route. The advantage to summarization is lower overhead on the router, saving memory and CPU
processing time. This can be important in very large networks, which can have hundreds of routes.
