Chapter_7 part 1

Question 1

what does the descriptor ‘successor’ mean?

Answer 1

main path that the EIGRP uses

Question 2

what does the descriptor ‘feasible successor’ mean?

Answer 2

if the successor path in EIGRP goes down then the 2nd path is used and it is called the ‘ feasible successor’

Question 3

RIP?

Answer 3

reliable transport protocol

Question 4

is EIGRP classsfull or classless?

Answer 4

classless: sends subnet mask info with it.

Question 5

EIGRP?

Answer 5

Enahanced interior gateway router protocol

Question 6

what are the ipv4 and ipv6 EIGRP multicast addresses

Answer 6

224.0.0.10 and FF02::A

Question 7

what number represents EIGRP (Hint: 110 is OSPF)

Answer 7

190

Question 8

what is the organizational multicast mac address?

Answer 8

01-00-5E

Question 9

What is used to facilitate hierarchical routing in OSPF

Answer 9

The use of multiple areas

Question 10

DUAL?

Answer 10

Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL). the computational engine that drives EIGRP resides at the center of the routing protocol.

Question 11

RTP?

Answer 11

Reliable Transport Protoco. provides delivery of EIGRP packets to neighbors. used allong with neighbor adjacencies by the DUAL algorithm.

Question 12

what kind of routing protocol is EIGRP?

Answer 12

distance vector

Question 13

what type of routing updates does EIGRP use?

Answer 13

partial and bonded.

Question 14

what is a partial eigrp update?

Answer 14

updates only supply a new link or tells if an existing link is no longer available.

Question 15

what is a bonded eigrp update?

Answer 15

partial updates are only sent to routers that are effected. saves bandwidth on network.

Question 16

what kind of load balancing does eigrp use?

Answer 16

both equal and unequal.
