Q

An EIGRP packet header arrives with an opcode field value of 3. What does this imply about the EIGRP packet?

Study These Flashcards
A

This is an EIGRP query packet

20
Q

An EIGRP packet header arrives with an opcode field value of 4. What does this imply about the EIGRP packet?

Study These Flashcards
A

This is an EIGRP reply packet

21
Q

An EIGRP packet header arrives with an opcode field value of 5. What does this imply about the EIGRP packet?

Study These Flashcards
A

This is an EIGRP “Hello” packet if the value of the ACK field is 0. If the value is non-zero, it is an Acknowledgment.

22
Q

What is the purpose of the EIGRP Autonomous System Number?

Study These Flashcards
A

Allows tracking of the particular EIGRP process when multiple instances of EIGRP are active

23
Q

An EIGRP packet arrives with a TLV field value of 0x0001. What information is expected to follow?

Study These Flashcards
A

This value indicates EIGRP parameters follow, including K values and Hold time

24
Q

An EIGRP packet arrives with a TLV field value of 0x0102. What information is expected to follow?

Study These Flashcards
A

This value indicates information regarding an EIGRP internal route, including delay, bandwidth, subnet mask, and destination network

25
An EIGRP packet arrives with a TLV field value of 0x0103. What information is expected to follow?
This value indicates and EIGRP external route, including next hop, external protocol metric, delay, bandwidth, prefix, and destination network
26
What is the formula to calculate the default EIGRP metric?
((10,000,000/BW)+(sum of delays/10)) x 256
27
What is the default EIGRP delay value for Ethernet (10Mb) links?
1000
28
What is the default EIGRP delay value for Fast Ethernet links?
100
29
What is the default EIGRP delay value for Gigabit Ethernet links?
10
30
What is the default EIGRP delay value for FDDI links?
100
31
What is the default EIGRP delay value for serial links?
20,000
32
What is an EIGRP successor?
The router with the least-cost path to the destination network
33
What is the EIGRP feasible successor
EIGRP neighbor with a loop free-path to same destination as the successor, that also meets the feasibility condition
34
What is the EIGRP feasibility condition
Met when a neighbor's reported distance to a given network is less than the local routers feasbile distance to that same network
35
What is meant by reported distance>
The metric that a router reports to a neighbor about it's own cost to a network
36
An EIGRP router has just lost connectivity to a successor. What happens immediately?
DUAL examines topology table for a feasible successor
37
An EIGRP router has last connectivity to a successor. DUAL cannot find a feasible successor in the topology table. What happens next?
DUAL places the destination network in an active state
38
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. There was no feasible successor in the topology table, so DUAL placed the destination network in an ACTIVE state. What happens next?
DUAL begins querying neighbors for new route to the destination.
39
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. There was no feasible successor in the topology table, so DUAL placed the destination network in an ACTIVE state. Dual then queried other EIGRP routers for an alternative route to the destination. A neighbor did have a loop-free alternative route. What happens next?
DUAL selects that route as the new successor.
40
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. There was no feasible successor in the topology table, so DUAL placed the destination network in an ACTIVE state. Dual then queried other EIGRP routers for an alternative route to the destination. A neighbor did have a loop-free alternative route. DUAL installed that successor in the topology table. What happens next?
DUAL installs any feasible successors, if they exist in the topology table?
41
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. A feasible successor exists in the topology table. What happens next?
DUAL promotes the feasible successor to successor.
42
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. A feasible successor exists in the topology table. Dual promotes the feasible successor to successor. What happens next?
The successor is installed in the routing table
43
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. There was no feasible successor in the topology table, so DUAL placed the destination network in an ACTIVE state. Dual then queried other EIGRP routers for an alternative route to the destination. No neighbors had a loop-free alternative route. What happens next?
The destination network is removed from the topology table and routing table
44
An EIGRP has lost connectivity to a successor. A feasible successor exists in the topology table. Dual promotes the feasible successor to successor and installs its route in the routing table. What happens next?
DUAL installs feasible successors, if any into the topology table?
45
What conditions must be met for EIGRP routers to become neighbors?
1. Must use same ASN 2. Must pass authentication (if configured) 3. Must have matching K values
