Part 6: Configure EIGRP Authentication

Background / Scenario
EIGRP has advanced features to allow changes related to summarization, default route propagation,
bandwidth utilization, metrics, and security.
In this lab, you will configure automatic and manual summarization for EIGRP, configure EIGRP route
propagation, fine-tune EIGRP metrics, and use MD5 authentication to secure EIGRP routing information.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at this end of the lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Ensure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure,
contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
 3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology

Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the PC hosts and routers.

Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Step 2: Configure PC hosts.

Step 3: Initialize and reload the routers as necessary.

Step 4: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device name as shown in the topology.
c. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords.
d. Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
e. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting command entry.
f. Configure the IP address listed in the Addressing Table for all interfaces.
Note: Do NOT configure the loopback interfaces at this time.
g. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Part 2: Configure EIGRP and Verify Connectivity

In Part 2, you will configure basic EIGRP for the topology and set bandwidths for the serial interfaces.

Lab – Configuring Advanced EIGRP for IPv4 Features

Note: This lab provides minimal assistance with the actual commands necessary to configure EIGRP.
However, the required commands are provided in Appendix A. Test your knowledge by trying to configure the
devices without referring to the appendix.

Step 1: Configure EIGRP.

a. On R1, configure EIGRP routing with an autonomous system (AS) ID of 1 for all directly connected
networks. Write the commands used in the space below.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
R1(config)# router eigrp 1
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.3
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.13.0 0.0.0.3
b. For the LAN interface on R1, disable the transmission of EIGRP hello packets. Write the command used
in the space below.
____________________________________________________________________________________
R1(config-router)# passive-interface g0/0
c. On R1, configure the bandwidth for S0/0/0 to 1024 Kb/s and the bandwidth for S0/0/1 to 64 Kb/s. Write
the commands used in the space below. Note: The bandwidth command only affects the EIGRP metric
calculation, not the actual bandwidth of the serial link.
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# bandwidth 1024
R1(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
R1(config-if)# bandwidth 64
d. On R2, configure EIGRP routing with an AS ID of 1 for all networks, disable the transmission of EIGRP
hello packets for the LAN interface, and configure the bandwidth for S0/0/0 to 1024 Kb/s.
e. On R3, configure EIGRP routing with an AS ID of 1 for all networks, disable the transmission of EIGRP
hello packets for the LAN interface, and configure the bandwidth for S0/0/0 to 64 Kb/s.

Step 2: Test connectivity.

All PCs should be able to ping one another. Verify and troubleshoot if necessary.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall to ping between PCs.

Part 3: Configure Summarization for EIGRP

In Part 3, you will add loopback interfaces to R1, enable EIGRP automatic summarization on R1, and observe
the effects on the routing table for R2. You will also add loopback interfaces on R3.

The administrative distance is 170 as it is an external EIGRP route.

Part 5: Fine-Tune EIGRP

In Part 5, you will configure the percentage of bandwidth that can be used by an EIGRP interface and change
the hello interval and hold timers for EIGRP interfaces.

Step 1: Configure bandwidth utilization for EIGRP.

a. Configure the serial link between R1 and R2 to allow only 75 percent of the link bandwidth for EIGRP
traffic.
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 1 75
R2(config)# interface s0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 1 75
b. Configure the serial link between R1 and R3 to allow 40 percent of the links bandwidth for EIGRP traffic.

Step 2: Configure the hello interval and hold timer for EIGRP.
a. On R2, use the show ip eigrp interfaces detail command to view the hello interval and hold timer for
EIGRP.
R2# show ip eigrp interfaces detail

Part 6: Configure EIGRP Authentication

In Part 6, you will create an authentication key on all routers and configure router interfaces to use MD5
authentication for EIGRP message authentication.

Step 1: Configure authentication keys.

a. On R1, use the key chain name command in global configuration mode to create a key chain with the
label EIGRP-KEYS.
R1(config)# key chain EIGRP-KEYS
R1(config-keychain)# key 1
R1(config-keychain-key)# key-string cisco
b. Complete the configuration on R2 and R3.
c. Issue the show key chain command. You should have the same output on every router.

Step 2: Configure EIGRP link authentication.

a. Apply the following commands to active EIGRP authentication on the serial interfaces on R1.
R1# conf t
R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip authentication key-chain eigrp 1 EIGRP-KEYS
R1(config-if)# ip authentication mode eigrp 1 md5
R1(config-if)# interface s0/0/1
R1(config-if)# ip authentication key-chain eigrp 1 EIGRP-KEYS
R1(config-if)# ip authentication mode eigrp 1 md5
b. Activate EIGRP authentication on the serial interfaces on R2 and R3.
c. On R2, use the show ip eigrp interfaces detail command to verify authentication.

Reflection
1. What are the benefits of summarizing routes?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Summarization can be used to limit the number of routing advertisements and the size of routing tables.
2. When setting EIGRP timers, why is it important to make the hold time value equal to or greater than the hello
interval?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
If the hold time is less than the hello interval, the neighbor adjacency will go down.
3. Why is it important to configure authentication for EIGRP?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Unauthenticated router updates create a security risk. Attackers could inject false route information into router
updates to redirect traffic to create routing loops or to send traffic across unsecure links.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
