EIGRP Flashcards
Prevents routers from advertising a route through the same interface from which the route was learned. Prevents routing loops
split horizon
Prevents routing loops by advertising the route as unreachable to the interface from which the route was received.
Poison reverse
Prevents routing loops by suppressing information regarding a better path to a route for a specified period of time. When a router receives a routing update stating that a route is unreachable, the router waits a specified amount of time before accepting routes advertised by other sources.
Hold-down timers
What must match to enable the exchange of routing updates between EIGRP neighbors?
ASN (Autonomous System Number)
Route _____ should only be used when a router is configured with multiple routing protocols and the network design calls for routing table updates to be shared across protocols.
redistribution
Each route in the router topology table contains two numbers inside parenthesis separated by a /. What does the first and second numbers represent?
First - metric
Second - reported distance (advertised distance)
What is the lowest calculated metric to the destination network?
feasible distance
The distance that the next-hop router has calculated for the route
reported distance
If the ____ is less than the _____, the route can be a feasible successor.
RD FD
If the ____ is greater than the _____, the route cannot be a feasible successor and is not listed in the topology table.
RD FD
Does the RD have anything to do with whether or not the route is listed in the routing table?
No, only metric does
EIGRP by default is configured for _____ load-balancing
equal-cost
Equal-cost load balancing occurs when the variance is set to the default value of ____.
1
Multiplier used to determine whether feasible successors can be used for unequal-cost path load balancing
variance
If the variance is set to 2, feasible successor routes that have metrics less than ____ times the lowest metric can be used for load balancing.
2
What command allows you to verify that EIGRP is sending hello packets?
show ip eigrp traffic
What does EIGRP use to achieve rapid convergence?
DUAL
What is the calculation for feasible distance?
advertised distance + reported metric to neighbor
A router compares all ____ to reach a specific network and selects the lowest one and places it in the routing table.
FD
How can the next-hop router become the feasible successor?
Must have AD that is less than the FD of the current successor route
What two criteria does EIGRP use to calculate its metric?
Bandwidth
Delay
In addition to bandwidth and delay, what criteria can EIGRP use to calculate its metric?
reliability
load
By default, what K values are set to 1?
K1 and K3
What is the multicast address for EIGRP to send routing information to all EIGRP routers?
224.0.0.10
What are the values of K1 through K5
K1 - bandwidth
K2 - load
K3 - delay
K4 - Reliability
K5 - MTU
Unlike OSPF, EIGRP does not go through neighbor states. When is a neighbor relationship established?
Upon receipt of hello packet
What must match in order for a router to form an adjacency?
AS number
K values
Authentication parameters
When will EIGRP send the contents of its routing table to the neighbor?
As soon as adjacency is established
What happens when a route changes?
EIGRP will send incremental updates to 224.0.0.10
What do incremental updates contain?
Information about the changed routes
What Cisco proprietary protocol is used to send EIGRP route updates?
RTP (Reliable Transport Protocol)
What happens when you issue a passive interface command on an EIGRP interface?
It suppresses incoming and outgoing hello packets
