In this video tutorial, prepared for my UMGC CMIT-456 (Cisco Networking Academy ENARSI v8 curriculum) course, we take a look at the first EIGRP Packet Tracer activity for the course: Packet Tracer 2.2.1 – Configure Basic EIGRP for IPv4. We cover the basics of EIGRP configuration around network statements, discuss Cisco best practices for the network statement, the different approaches for making interfaces passive (and why), and discuss the use of the EIGRP Router ID (RID) value. Enjoy!
***This video is an in-depth tutorial and is far more than simply an answer key to the aforementioned Packet Tracer activity. This tutorial is being made to assist my UMGC CMIT-456 learners in their journey through the ENARSI v8 course curriculum material 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 regarding topics like DHCP for IPv4 and inter-VLAN routing configuration and design, my hope is that this will increase your comprehension and help you to become a better and more effective network 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 (for the Mac) which was just recently released! The MINIMUM version you can use for any of the new CCNP v8 curriculum activities is Packet Tracer v8.x! Be sure to leave your feedback and questions below and I hope I have earned the privilege of your time!
