Configuring EIGRP for IPv4 Networks
This document provides a comprehensive guide on configuring Enhanced Interior
Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for IPv4 networks. It covers interface
configuration, network statements, passive interfaces, unicast neighbors, metric
calculations, and load balancing across multiple labs. The labs progressively build on
each other to demonstrate various aspects of EIGRP configuration and optimization.

Lab 1 – Initializing EIGRP – Network Statement

Interface Configuration
R1

R2

R3

Task 1 – Configure R1 in EIGRP AS 111.


o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement based on Major networks only.

Task 2 – Configure R2 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask for the Network 10.0.0.0.
Use the Major networks for the rest of the networks.
Task 3 – Configure R3 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask to minimize the Network
statements starting with 203.X.X.
0. Use the Major networks for the rest of the networks.
Task 4 – Configure R4 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask to minimize the Network
statements starting with 104.X.X. Use the Major networks for the rest of the networks.
Task 5 – Configure R5 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table. o Run EIGRP in
EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask to minimize the Network
statements starting with 205.X.X.0.
Use the Major networks for the rest of the networks.

o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask to minimize the Network
statements starting with 101.X.X.0.
Use the Major networks for the rest of the networks.

Task 7 – Configure R7 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement using a wild card mask to minimize the Network
statements starting with 101.X.X.0. Use the Major networks for the rest of the
networks.
Task 8 – Configure R8 in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure the Interface based on the Interface Configuration Table.
o Run EIGRP in EIGRP 111.
o Configure the Network statement such that all directly connected interfaces are
enabled in EIGRP. This should also take care of any new interfaces configured in the
future.

Lab 2 – EIGRP – Passive Interfaces

5
Task 1 – Configure Passive-Interface on Routers in EIGRP AS 111.
o Configure all routers in EIGRP 111 such that they do not send updates on links that
do not have other routers, basically Loopbacks.
o Use the minimum number of passive interface commands to accomplish the task.
Lab 3 – EIGRP – Unicast Neighbors

Task 1 – Configure Unicast EIGRP on specific interfaces in AS 111.


o Configure the neighbor relationship between R1 and R2 to be Unicast-based.
o Configure the neighbor relationship between R2 and R8 to be Unicast-based.

6
Lab 4 – EIGRP – Metric Calculations

Task 1 – Configure interface bandwidth based on the topology diagram.


o Configure the Interfaces on the routers based on the bandwidth shown in the
diagram. Don’t change the delay.
o Calculate the metrics from R2 towards the 205.1.4.0/24 network. Make sure that it
matches the values mentioned in the topology.

7
Lab 5 – Load Balancing – Equal & Unequal Load Balancing

Task 1 – Verifying Equal Cost Load Balancing between R1, R2, R3 & R4.
o The Interface bandwidth between R1, R2, R3 & R4 is the same. This results in equal
costs to get from diagonally across routers ( R1-R4 and vice versa & R2-R3 and vice
versa).
o Verify the dual path from R1 towards the loopbacks of R4 and vice versa.
o Verify the dual path from R2 towards the loopbacks of R3 and vice versa.
Task 2 – Configuring Unequal Load Balancing on R2
o Configure R2 to use both path towards the Loopback Interfaces of R5.
o Calculate the Variance and implement it on R2.
o This can be done by finding the Composite Metric for the Successor and Feasible
successors in the EIGRP topology table.
o Divide the Feasible Successor Metric (1433600) by Sucessor Metric (691200).
o You will get a result of 2.07. Round up the number to 3.
o That is the variance.
o Verify the Traffic share count by using the Show Ip route command with the route
option (show ip route 205.1.4.0)

8
Task 3 – Configuring Unequal Load Balancing on R5
o Configure R5 to use both path towards the Loopback Interfaces of R2.
o Calculate the Variance and implement it on R5.
o This can be done by finding the Composite Metric for the Successor and Feasible
successors in the EIGRP topology table.
o Divide the Feasible Successor Metric (1433600) by Sucessor Metric (691200).
o You will get a result of 2.07. Round up the number to 3.
o That is the variance.
o Verify the Traffic share count by using the Show Ip route command with the route
option (show ip route 205.1.4.0)

Conclusion and Key Takeaways


This comprehensive lab series on configuring EIGRP for IPv4 networks covers
essential aspects of EIGRP implementation and optimization. By completing these
labs, network engineers will gain practical experience in:
• Configuring EIGRP on multiple routers within an Autonomous System
• Using different network statement techniques to optimize EIGRP configuration
• Implementing passive interfaces to control EIGRP updates
• Configuring unicast EIGRP neighbors for specific network scenarios
• Understanding and calculating EIGRP metrics
• Implementing both equal and unequal cost load balancing in EIGRP
These skills are crucial for efficiently designing, implementing, and troubleshooting
EIGRP networks in real-world scenarios. The hands-on approach of these labs ensures
that learners can apply these concepts effectively in their networking projects.
