Q

What are EIGRP Updates?

A

Convey route information. transmitted only when needed and only to routers that need the information. When needed by multiple routers then multicast is used. Always uses reliable delivery

Q

What are EIGRP Queries and Replies?

A

Used by DUAL finite state machine. Queries can be multicast or unicast, replies are always unicast. Both always use reliable delivery

Q

What is RTP?

A

Reliable Transport Protocol. Tracks the delivery of reliable multicast and makes sure messages are received in order. Send both a sequence number from the sender of each message and the last one received from the neighbor with each message.

Q

The Hello Frequency is

A
  • Hellos are usually send very 5 seconds - a small random amount of time to prevent synchronization
  • On multipoint interfaces slower than T1 hellos are unicast every 60 seconds.

Q

The Seq Num column in “show ip eigrp neighbors” is

A

The sequence number of the last update, query, or reply that has been sent to the neighbor

20
Q

The H column in “show ip eigrp neighbors” is

A

The order in which the neighbors were learned.

21
Q

An Adjacency is

A

A virtual link between two routers over which route information is exchanged

22
Q

How does EIGRP calculate the distance of a route?

A

It takes the advertised distance and adds it to the local link metric to that neighbor.

23
Q

What is the Feasible Distance?

A

The lowest calculated metric to a destination

24
Q

What is the Feasibility Condition?

A

The condition that is met if the neighbor’s advertised distance is less than the feasible distance to a particular destination.

25
Q

What is a Feasible Successor?

A

A neighbor that meets the Feasibility Condition (advertises a distance that is less than the feasible distance) for a particular destination. A neighbor that is one hop closer to the destination than this router.

26
Q

What is a successor?

A

The neighbor advertising the lowest metric to a destination is the successor.

27
Q

In “show ip eigrp topology” what is the first number in the parentheses?

A

The locally calculated metric

28
Q

In “show ip eigrp topology” what is the second number in the parentheses?

A

The advertised distance also known as the advertised composite metric.

29
Q

In “show IP route” what is the first number in the square brackets?

A

The Administrative Distance (AD)

30
Q

in “show ip route” what is the second number in the square brackets?

A

The metric used for the route. It is also the best metric to the route.

31
Q

When will a router reassess it’s list of feasible successors for a route?

A

Whenever an input event occurs. Input Events can be:

  • Change in the cost of a directly connected link.
  • Change in the state (up or down) of a directly connected link
  • Reception of an update packet
  • Reception of a query packet
  • Reception of a reply packet
32
Q

What is the first step in the DUAL Finite state machine?

A

Local Computation where the router recalculates the metric to all feasible successors. The possible results are:

  • If the Feasible Successor with the lowest distance is different than the existing successor then the feasible successor will become the successor.
  • If the new distance is lower than the feasible distance (FD) then the FD will be updated
  • If the new distance is different from the existing distance then updates will be sent to all neighbors.
33
Q

In the DUAL Finite State machine if a feasible successor cannot be found what happens?

A

If a feasible successor can’t be found then a diffusing computation begins and the route will be placed in Active state until it can be completed.

34
Q

While a route is active what can a router not do to the route?

A

It cannot:

  • Change the route’s successor
  • Change the distance it is advertising for the route
  • Change the route’s Feasible Distance (FD)
  • Begin another diffusing computation for the route.
35
Q

what is the Administrative Distance of a summary route?

36
Q

A

internal 90

external 170

37
Q

Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load, MTU

38
Q

EIGRP Default K Values

A 
K1 = 1
K2 = 0
K3 = 1
K4 = 0
K5 = 0
39
Q

EIGRP classic formula

A

(k1BWs + k2BWs/(256-LOmax) + k3Ds)(K5/(k4+Rmin)
where
BWs = 25610^7/bandwidthMin
Ds = 256DelaySummed

40
Q

EIGRP classic default max link bandwidth

A

10Gbps(10^7)

41
Q

EIGRP OpCode

A 
4-bit Header value:
1=update
3=query
4=reply
5=hello/ack
10=SIA query
11=SIA reply
42
Q

SIA Query/SIA Reply

A

Stuck-In-Active query/reply are unicast to a neighbor to check if they are still working on DUAL. An SIA-query is sent and the neighbor immediately returns an SIA-reply.

43
Q

What is required for an EIGRP neighbor relationship to form?

A

EIGRP Authentication parameters must match
EIGRP K-Values must match
EIGRP Autonomous System (AS) number must match
Use of the primary address for EIGRP neighbor relationships
use of the common IP network address on a single subnet

44
Q

EIGRP Wide Metric Components

A
  • Throughput
  • Latency
  • Reliability
  • Load
  • MTU
  • Extended Metrics (Jitter, Energy, Quiscent Energy)
  • Hop Count
45
Q

EIGRP Wide Metrics default K Values

A 
K1 = 1
K2 = 0
K3 = 1
K4 = 0
K5 = 0
K6 = 0
46
Q

EIGRP Wide Metrics Formula

A

K1Tmin + K2Tmin/(256-LoMAX) + K3Lasummed + K6ExtM)(K5/(K4+Rmin))
Where
Tmin = 6553510^7/BandwidthMin(in kbps)
LaSummed = sum of 65536*DelayInterface/10^6
DelayInterface =:
* DefaultDelay in picoseconds for interfaces <= 1 Gbps or where bandwidth is configured
* 10^7 * configured delay where delay is configured.
* 10^13/defaultbandwidth for interfaces > 1 Gbps

47
Q

What is the metric rib-scale?

A

Used to scale down the wide metrics to 32 bits for the routing table. the default is 128.
