EIGRP LAB

After doing the network Audit you manager wants you to implement EIGRP in the Enterprise
Network. You need to complete the following tasks to complete the EIGRP implementation
throughout your network.

1. You can start your implementation by enabling EIGRP with the Autonomous System
Number 25 throughout your network. Start by enabling EIGRP on Headquarter Router,
Branch2 – Branch 5. You also need to turn off the Auto Summarization feature.

2. Make sure you have advertised the Loopback IP addresses and test that you have
connectivity on the Loopback IP address by pinging all the routers loopback from
HEADQUARTER Router.

3. For Loop prevention IP address for Loopback 0 should also be the Router-ID in the EIGRP
Process for all the routers.

4. Enable Authentication between all EIGRP enabled routers. Below is the Authentication Key
details that you should use:
Passphrase: urduitacademy
Accepted From : Midnight 31 March 2014 until forever
Sent From: Midnight 31 March 2014 until forever

5. You should have a default route on Headquarter Router and all other Routers should send
the traffic to Headquarter for all internet traffic. You are not allowed to run EIGRP on
INTERNET router. After implementation make sure you can reach the Loopback of Internet
router from any Router in your network.

6. To meet the security requirement EIGRP should not form Neighbor relationship on any
interface where we are not running EIGRP.

7. Create 10 Loopbacks on Headquarter Router as below and advertise them on EIGRP:

Loopback 1: 172.16.0.0/24
Loopback 2: 172.16.1.0/24
Loopback 3: 172.16.3.0/24
Loopback 4: 172.16.4.0/24
Loopback 5: 172.16.5.0/24
Loopback 6: 172.16.6.0/24
Loopback 7: 172.16.7.0/24
Loopback 8: 172.16.8.0/24
Loopback 9: 172.16.9.0/24
Loopback 10: 172.16.10.0/24
8. For Efficiency purpose you need to summarise all these loopback into a single network
advertisement of 172.16.0.0/20

9. Make sure that you only use the Delay Value for Metric Calculation.

10. Change the delay value on all Loopback 0 interfaces to 1.

11. On Branch 5 make sure you have the Successor and Feasible successor to reach Loopback
3.3.3.3 You are not allowed to make changes on Branch 5 Router.

12. After testing of the Failover from Successor to Feasible Successor you noticed that its
taking a lot of time and experienced lot of packet loss you need to make sure that this
failover happens as soon as possible with minimum packet loss.

13. At the moment all the traffic destined to Loopback 4.4.4.4 from Headquarter is going via
slow link from Branch 2 to Branch 3 you need to make sure that any traffic destined to
4.4.4.4 goes via Branch 5.

14. You have three routes towards 3.3.3.3 from Branch 5 shut down the link towards Branch 3
and Branch 2 and test the Query and Reply are working fine via Branch 4.

15. From Branch 3 you have been asked to implement the unequal cost load balancing towards
4.4.4.4 in 4:1 so that for every 4 packets that goes to 4.4.4.4 via Branch 5 you sends one
packet to Branch 4 on a Directly connected interface

16. Your company has opened two new small Remote offices and has contacted a service
provider to give them Frame Relay Connection. You need to Implement EIGRP on the
remote Offices Branch 7 and Branch 8 and make sure that they have the connectivity to
Headquarter by running EIGRP between them.

17. Routes from Branch 7 should reach Branch 8 and Vice Versa.

18. Configure Headquarter Router to utilize 25% more of the allocated serial interface
bandwidth than EIGRP’ s default configuration.

19. Make sure that you advertise the summary address of 172.16.0.0/20 to minimize the
routing table entries on Branch7 and Branch8

20. As a network administrator you know that Branch7 and Branch 8 are the Last Hops in your
network you need to minimize the risk of EIGRP Queries Flooding on Serial Links.
