EIGRP
vip-in class
EIGRP
EIGRP is referred to as advanced distance

routing protocol
Administrative Distance is 90
Considered classless
Support for FLSM,VLSM/CIDR, auto and
manual summary
Support for IP and IPv6 ,IPX , APPLETALK via
protocol-dependent modules
vip-in class
EIGRP
Metric= composite metric (Bandwidth ,

load ,delay , reliability , mtu)
Support upto 255 hops by default is 100.
Load balancing on 4 equal path (equal) max
16(equal or unequal)
Efficient neighbor discovery
Incremental /triggered path
vip-in class
Communication via Reliable Transport
Protocol (RTP)
For Neighbor discovery it uses 224.0.0.10 as
multicast as well as unicast
For Neighbor Establishment
 Hello packet should exchange
 AS no should match
 Identical metric ( K-value)
Best path selection via Diffusing Update
Algorithm (DUAL) (select successor as well as
feasible successor)
vip-in class
EIGRP TERMS
Feasible distance (FD) This is the best

metric among all paths to a remote network,
The route with the lowest FD is the route that
you will find in the routing table
Reported/advertised distance (AD) This is
the metric of a remote network, as reported
by a neighbor.
vip-in class
EIGRP TERMS
Feasible successor A feasible successor is a

path whose advertised distance is less than
the feasible distance of the current successor
and it is considered a backup route.
EIGRP will keep up to 16 feasible successors
in the topology table.
 The show ip eigrp topology command will
display all the EIGRP feasible successor
routes
vip-in class
Eigrp Table
Neighbor table Each router keeps state

information about adjacent neighbors. When a
newly discovered neighbor is learned, the address
and interface of the neighbor are recorded,
Topology table The topology table is populated
by the protocol-dependent modules and acted
upon by the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL).
It contains all destinations advertised by
neighboring routers, holding each destination
address and a list of neighbors that have
advertised the destination.
Routing Table : stores best route
vip-in class
To configure EIGRP
#router Eigrp 10
# network well connected router
vip-in class
OSPF
OSPF (Open shortest Path)

It is link state protocol
It is open standard
AD is 110
Support unlimited no of hops.
Use hierarchical design
vip-in class
OSPF Terminology
Link A link is a network or router interface

assigned to any given network
Router ID The Router ID (RID) is an IP
address used to identify the router
Neighbor Neighbors are two or more
routers that have an interface on a common
network
Adjacency An adjacency is a relationship
between two OSPF routers that permits the
direct exchange of route updates
vip-in class
Hello protocol The OSPF Hello protocol
provides dynamic neighbor discovery and
maintains neighbor relationships
Neighborship database The neighborship
database is a list of all OSPF routers for
which Hello packets have been seen
Topological database The topological
database contains information from all of the
Link State Advertisement packets that have
been received for an area.
vip-in class
Link State Advertisement A Link State
Advertisement (LSA) is an OSPF data packet
containing link-state and routing information
that’s shared among OSPF routers.
Designated router A designated router (DR) is
elected whenever OSPF routers are connected to
the same multi-access network
Backup designated router A backup designated
router (BDR) is a hot standby for the DR
OSPF areas A n OSPF area is a grouping of
contiguous networks and routers
vip-in class
Types of Network in OSPF
Broadcast (multi-access)
Non-broadcast multi-access
Point-to-point
Point-to-multipoint
vip-in class
LSA Type
vip-in class
Configure OSPF
#router Ospf
# network network id wildcard mask area 0
vip-in class
Verifying OSPF Configuration
show ip ospf command is used to display

OSPF information for one or all OSPF
processes running on the router.
show ip ospf interface command displays all
interface-related OSPF information.
show ip ospf neighbor command summarizes
the pertinent OSPF information regarding
neighbors
show ip protocols command is also useful,
whether you’re running OSPF, EIGRP, IGRP,
RIP, BGP, IS-IS
vip-in class
Debugging OSPF
debug ip ospf packet Shows Hello packets

being sent and received on your router.
debug ip ospf hello Shows Hello packets
being sent and received on your router.
Shows more detail than the debug ip ospf
packet output.
debug ip ospf adj Shows DR and BDR
elections on a broadcast or non-broadcast
multi-access network.
