【ROUTE 1-6】Using EIGRP in an Enterprise Network.pptVIP

Factors That Influence EIGRP Scalability Quantity of routing information exchanged between peers; without proper route summarization, this can be excessive. Number of routers that must be involved when a topology change occurs. Depth of topology: the number of hops that information must travel to reach all routers. Number of alternate paths through the network. EIGRP Query Process Queries are sent when a route is lost and no feasible successor is available. The lost route is now in active state. Queries are sent to all neighboring routers on all interfaces except the interface to the successor. If the neighbors do not have the lost-route information, queries are sent to their neighbors. If a router has an alternate route, it answers the query; this stops the query from spreading in that branch of the network. Updates and Queries in Hub-and-Spoke Topology EIGRP Stub The EIGRP stub routing feature improves network stability, reduces resource utilization, and simplifies remote router (spoke) configuration. Stub routing is commonly used in a hub-and-spoke topology. A stub router sends a special peer information packet to all neighboring routers to report its status as a stub router. A neighbor that receives a packet informing it of the stub status does not query the stub router for any routes. Configuring EIGRP Stub Limiting Updates and Queries: Using EIGRP Stub Example: eigrp stub Parameters If stub connected is configured: B will advertise /24 to A. B will not advertise /23, /23, or /24. If stub summary is configured: B will advertise /23 to A. B will not advertise /24, /24, or /24. Example: eigrp stub Parameters (Cont.) If stub static is configured: B will advertise /24 to A. B will not advertise /24, /23, or /24. If stub receive-only is configured: B will not advertise anything to A, so A needs to have a static route to the networks behind B to reach them. EIGRP Query Process Stuck in Active The router has to get all the replies from the neighbors
