EIGRP Flashcards
(77 cards)
What is EIGRP(Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol)?
IGP that has distance vector and link state properties.
What are distance vector properties of EIGRP?
Initial adjacency sends copy of entire routing table.
What are link state properties of EIGRP?
- Incremental updates only contain topology changes.
2. Backup routes (feasible successors) pre-calculated.
What is the Hello multicast address?
224.0.0.10
What protocol is used to handle the transport of messages between EIGRP-enabled routers? #
Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) 88 uses seq.# & acks.
What does an AS(Autonomous System) identify?
Routers that belong to the same group.
Can routers is different AS become neighbors?
No.
What does the Route table store?#sh ip route eigrp
Only the best routes which are advertised to neighbors.
What does the Topology table store?
All valid/loop-free routes learned from neighbors.
What does the Neighbor table store?#sh ip eigrp neighbor
Devices running EIGRP that have formed an adjacency.
What is EIGRP Admin Distance?
D : 90 = Internal
D EX : 170 = External
5 = Summary
What is the Diffusing Update Algorithm(DUAL) process?
- Router loses successor.
- Paths are removed from Topology table.
- If FS exists, that route is
move to Route table. - No FS = all neighbors queried for alt. route.
- No alt. route found = Stuck in Active (SIA).
What is a Passive (P) route?
A route that is stable.
What is an Active (A) route?
Down querying for alt. path.(QUERY/REPLY)
What is Feasible Distance(FD)?
What is Advertised Distance(AD)?
What is Local Distance(LD)?
FD = YOU to DESTINATION. AD = NEIGHBOR to DESTINATION. LD = YOU to NEIGHBOR.
What is Handle (H)? #sh ip eigrp neigh?
Order in which adjacency’s were made.
What is Hold (Hold Time)? #sh ip eigrp neigh?
Advertised time telling a neighbor to drop adjacency if a HELLO is not received within that time.
What is Uptime(U)? #sh ip eigrp neighbor?
Amount of time an adjacency has been up.
What is Short Round Trip Time(SRTT)?
#sh ip eigrp neigh?
Average time it takes EIGRP packets to Rx/Tx.
What is Q Count?
#sh ip eigrp neigh?
of EIGRP update/reply/query packets in queue.
What is Seq#?
#sh ip eigrp neigh?
Sequence # of last EIGRP update/reply/query packet.
What command shows # of H/U/Q/R/A packets Tx/Rx?
show ip eigrp traffic.
When a successor is lost anf there is no FS, transmission of which 2 packet types increase?
Query and Reply. (DUAL re-convergence)
How does the EIGRP Initial Route Exchange work?
- Hello is multicast to connected neighbors.
- Neighbors unicast route updates.
- Neigh.#1 unicasts ack/update.
- Neigh.#2 unicasts ack.
