EIGRP Flashcards
What is a successor route?
route with the lowest path metric to reach a destination
What is a Feasible distance?
metric value for the lowest-metric path to reach a destination
What is a Reported distance?
The distance reported by a router to reach a prefix
What is a Feasibility condition?
condition under which for a route to be considered a backup route
What is a Feasible Successor?
Route that satisfies the feasibility condition and maintained as a backup route
EIGRP neighbors exchange the entire routing table when forming an adjacency, and advertise only incremental updates as topology changes occur within a network? no or yes
yes
EIGRP used how many packet types and what are they?
5
Hello Request Update Query Reply
What IP number does EIGRP use?
88
EIGRP routers communicate between other routers using?
multicast
What is the multicast address of EIGRP?
224.0.0.10
What is EIGRP Wide Metric?
provides support for interface speeds up to 655 Tbps
What is equal-cost multiplexing-ECMP?
allows multiple successor routes using the same metric to be installed in the RIB for the same prefix (equal cost load balancing)
What is the EIGRP variance value?
makes EIGRP load balance over feasible successors
What is traffic share count?
counter indicates how much traffic will be sent on each link
