Objectives
• Configure a three-router topology with discontiguous subnets using EIGRP with automatic
summarization.
• Disable auto-summarization and configure a manual summarization.
• Observe and interpret the results in the routing table.

Background / Preparation
Set up a network similar to the one in the topology diagram. This lab presents a three-router corporate
network using variably subnetted private IP addressing. On Branch1and Branch2, loopbacks simulate LANs
attached to those routers. The design creates discontiguous subnets on the routers which will be “hidden”
when EIGRP is configured with automatic summarization as the default. You will disable automatic
summarization and configure manual summarization to verify that the routers share subnet information.
The following resources are required:
• Three Cisco 1841 routers or comparable routers
• At least one PC with a terminal emulation program
• At least one RJ-45-to-DB-9 connector console cable
• Serial cables to connect R1 to both R2 and R3, and to connect R2 to R3
NOTE: Make sure that the routers and the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations.
Instructions for erasing both switch and router are provided in the Lab Manual, located on Academy
Connection in the Tools section.
NOTE: SDM Enabled Routers – If the startup-config is erased in an SDM enabled router, SDM will no longer
come up by default when the router is restarted. It will be necessary to build a basic router configuration using
IOS commands. The steps provided in this lab use IOS commands and do not require the use of SDM. If you
wish to use SDM, refer to the instructions in the Lab Manual, located on the Academy Connection in the Tools
section or contact your instructor if necessary.

Step 1: Connect the equipment


a. Connect Router1 to Router2 and Router3 using serial cables.
b. Connect Router2 to Router3 using serial cables.
c. Connect a PC with a console cable to perform configurations on the routers.

Step 2: Perform basic configurations on the routers


a. Establish a console session with Router1 and configure hostname, passwords, and interfaces as
described in the table. Save the configuration.
b. Establish a console session with Router2 and perform a similar configuration, using the addresses
and other information from the table. Save the configuration.
c. Establish a console session with Router3. Configure hostname, passwords, and interfaces according
to the table. Save the configuration.

Step 3: Configure EIGRP routing with default commands


a. On Gateway, configure EIGRP as the routing protocol with an autonomous system number of 100,
and advertise the appropriate networks.
Gateway(config)#router eigrp 100
Gateway(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
Gateway(config-router)#network 10.0.0.4

Predict: How will EIGRP report these subnets in the routing table?
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
b. On Branch1, configure EIGRP as the routing protocol with an autonomous system number of 100,
and advertise the appropriate networks:
Branch1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.3
Branch1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.8 0.0.0.3
Branch1(config-router)#network 172.17.2.0 0.0.0.255
Branch1(config-router)#network 172.17.3.0 0.0.0.255
Branch1(config-router)#network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255
Branch1(config-router)#network 172.16.3.0 0.0.0.255
c. Perform a similar configuration on Branch2, using EIGRP 100 and advertising the appropriate
networks.

Step 4: Verify the routing configuration


View the routing table on Gateway.
Gateway of last resort is not set
D 172.17.0.0/16 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:49, Serial0/0/1
[90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:49, Serial0/0/0
D 172.16.0.0/16 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:36, Serial0/0/1
[90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:36, Serial0/0/0
10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 3 subnets
D 10.0.0.8 [90/2681856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:01:34, Serial0/0/1
[90/2681856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:01:34, Serial0/0/0
C 10.0.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
C 10.0.0.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1
Which subnets are not reported in this output?
______________________________________________________________________________
Why are there two paths reported for the 10.0.0.8/30 route?
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________

Step 5: Remove Automatic summarization


On each of the three routers, remove automatic summarization to force EIGRP to report all subnets. A sample
command is given for Gateway.
Gateway(config)#router eigrp 100
Gateway(config-router)# no auto-summary

Step 6: Verify the routing configuration


View the routing table again on Gateway.
Gateway of last resort is not set

172.17.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets


D 172.17.1.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/1
D 172.17.0.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/1
D 172.17.3.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/0

D 172.17.2.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/0


172.16.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets
D 172.16.0.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/1
D 172.16.1.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/1
D 172.16.2.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/0
D 172.16.3.0 [90/2297856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, Serial0/0/0
10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 3 subnets
D 10.0.0.8 [90/2681856] via 10.0.0.6, 00:02:08, Serial0/0/1
[90/2681856] via 10.0.0.2, 00:02:08, Serial0/0/0
C 10.0.0.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
C 10.0.0.4 is directly connected, Serial0/0/1
Are all subnets represented in the table? __________
What kind of interface is “Null0”? _____________________________________________________

Step 7: Configure manual summarization


On Branch2, configure manual summarization to force EIGRP to summarize only the 172.17.0.0 and
172.17.1.0 subnets.
Branch2(config)#interface s0/0/0
Branch2(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 100 172.17.0.0
255.255.252.0
Branch2(config)#interface s0/0/1
Branch2(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 100 172.17.0.0
255.255.252.0

View the routing tables of Branch1 and Gateway again. Describe the effect that these summary
commands have on the routing tables.

Step 7: Reflection
a. Although removing automatic summarization solved the issue of missing subnets, what possible
problem could it cause?
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
b. How could removing automatic summarization help in troubleshooting an EIGRP network?
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
c. How did the use of loopback interfaces make this lab easier to complete?
