In this 90-minute Zoom session created for my UMGC CMIT-455 learners, I do a deep dive into Cisco’s Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). I introduce the EIGRP RFC 7868, talk about basic/classic mode configuration, go over the Feasible Distance, Feasibility Condition, Reported Distance, Computed Distance (which is commonly mistaken as being the Feasible Distance), and how to calculate the composite metric. We look at the topology table, and end by seamlessly converting our classic mode/32-bit mode EIGRP configuration stanza into the Named Mode/64-bit mode configuration. Enjoy!
***This video is an in-depth tutorial and is far more than simply an answer key to the aforementioned Packet Tracer/Lab activity. This tutorial is being made to assist my UMGC CMIT-455-6380 learners in their journey through the Cisco Networking Academy ENCORv8 course curriculum. So, if you are just looking for a shortcut or easy answers for the activity, this is not the video you should watch. However, if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding of the topic being covered and how things might be configured in a real-world scenario, my hope is that this will increase your comprehension and help you to become a better and more effective network administrator/engineer. Enjoy!
*This techtorial/Packet Tracer activity is all done running Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) v2.1.1-b19, some physical routers in my Evil Command Center Lab and/or Packet Tracer version 8.0.0.0212 (for the Mac) which was just recently released! The MINIMUM version you can use for any of the new CCNAv7 curriculum activities is Packet Tracer v7.3.0, but I would upgrade to whatever the most current/latest version! Be sure to leave your feedback and questions below and I hope I have earned the privilege of your time! Here is the link: https://youtu.be/3I_Vqvrqkb4
