EIGRP CCNP 1

Written by Rene Molenaar on . Posted in CCNP

Scenario:

Woods 'r' Us is looking for network engineers that are CCNP certified. You apply for a job as an EIGRP network engineer and instead of a job interview they ask you to configure a network so you can show them your EIGRP skills. If you succesfully configure this network you are certain to get the job!

Goal:

  • All IPv4 addresses have been preconfigured for you.
  • Each router has a loopback0 interface.
  • Configure EIGRP AS 1 on all routers. Disable auto-summary.
  • Configure EIGRP so reliability is also used as a metric.
  • Make sure router Alder will use the serial 1/0 interface as the primary link.
  • Make sure the FastEthernet0/0 interface on router Alder is a feasible successor and visible in the routing table for unequal load-balancing.
  • Router Walnut should send a summary route towards router Lyptus which only includes the loopback0 interfaces of router Alder, Cherry, Maple and Walnut. The summary route has to be as specific as possible.
  • The summary route you just created should show up with an administrative distance of 51 on router Walnut.
  • Ensure router Alder does not send EIGRP packets towards its loopback0 interface.
  • Configure router Walnut so the loopback0 interface of router Lyptus will not be advertised towards router Cherry and Maple.
  • Create a default route on router Cherry and advertise it in EIGRP.
  • Ensure only one path is used between router Walnut and Lyptus without breaking the EIGRP neighbor adjacency. You are not allowed to change the metrics.
  • Configure the serial interface of router Alder so EIGRP is allowed only 25% the available physical bandwidth.
  • Configure authentication between router Cherry and Walnut. The key-chain should be called "GNS3VAULT" and the password is "WOOD".
  • Router Lyptus shouldn't receive any query packets for lost networks. Configure this but make sure not to break connectivity.
  • The serial link between router Alder and Maple will not allow multicast traffic in the future. Make the changes so the EIGRP neighbor adjacency doesn't drop when this change takes effect.
  • Configure EIGRP on the frame relay network between router Maple, Pine and Oak. You have to configure EIGRP using the multipoint sub-interfaces. Advertise the loopback0 interfaces and ensure you have full reachability between the three routers.

    Hey,

    Great lab and most of the part where doable for me ;)
    But i have no clue how to do this:
    Ensure only one path is used between router Walnut and Lyptus without breaking the EIGRP neighbor adjacency. You are not allowed to change the metrics.

    any inputs?
    Regards

    Hey Rene I have a couple questions... Check my understanding on these few things.. Did I do them right?


    "Make sure router Alder will use the serial 1/0 interface as the primary link."

    I changed the delay on the fastethernet interface to accomplish this

    "The summary route you just created should show up with an administrative distance of 51 on router Walnut."

    I ran the command "#IP summary-route EIGRP 1 0.0.0.0 248.0.0.0 51" on walnuts fastethernet 3/0 and 2/0 interfaces

    That's the correct command. It installed the route but I feel like I'm missing one step.

    "Configure router Walnut so the loopback0 interface of router Lyptus will not be advertised towards router Cherry and Maple.
    Ensure only one path is used between router Walnut and Lyptus without breaking the EIGRP neighbor adjacency. You are not allowed to change the metrics."

    I used distribution lists to accomplish these two... Was that the best method??

    Hello,

    great lab! I haven't had the time to complete it yet, but I finished at the point were we set the AD of the summary route.

    As Matthew stated, I was also curious about the fact that although I changed the AD on the summary and the summary did get installed in the routing table, the AD on the routing table of the neighbor router stayed the same. And then I remembered that Rene had a similar task in the CCNA topics, where he explained that the AD has only local significance, so if it is changed in a router, it won't get propagated to the neighbors.

    Anyway, today I hope I finish the lab.

    By the way, great work Rene! It motivates us to dive deeper into things and also see things that won't come easily around in our working environment!

    Thank you for the effort!

    Hello Matthew & Katerina,

    Let me answer some of your questions:

    Quote:
    "Make sure router Alder will use the serial 1/0 interface as the primary link."

    I changed the delay on the fastethernet interface to accomplish this

    EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay by default, optionally you can enable load and reliability. If you used delay to influence the metric you can make it use the serial link so this is perfectly fine! :)

    Quote:
    "The summary route you just created should show up with an administrative distance of 51 on router Walnut."

    I ran the command "#IP summary-route EIGRP 1 0.0.0.0 248.0.0.0 51" on walnuts fastethernet 3/0 and 2/0 interfaces

    This is how you configure a summary and also how you can change the administrative distance. For EIGRP you need to configure the summary on the interface level. Keep in mind that AD is always local.

    Using the distribute list is a good idea. This will influence which prefixes you advertise/receive from/to neighbors without breaking the EIGRP neighbor adjacencies.

    Your memory serves you well :) the AD is always local on a router.

    Glad you enjoyed the lab!

    • Router Walnut should send a summary route towards router Lyptus which only includes the loopback0 interfaces of router Alder, Cherry, Maple and Walnut. The summary route has to be as specific as possible.

    I read in above post that the correct way to complete this is
    --ip summary-address eigrp 1 0.0.0.0 248.0.0.0 51

    I have two question regarding this. According to the step listed in lab the summary route should only include loopback address of first four routers. However the summary address listed in command above summarizes loopback addresses of all 7 routers. So is it correct?

    Second how to check the AD on this summary route on router Walnut. Agreed that the AD set is locally significant. But what command output shows the that it is set as AD 51.

    Am I missing something or is there a mistake in the diagram regarding Lyptus and Walnut.

    Lyptus Walnut
    Fa 0/0 54.5 Fa 3/0 54.4
    Fa 1/0 45.5 Fa 2/0 45.4

    I'm assuming one of WalnutsLyptus's subnets should be labeled 192.168.54.0/24 and this exercise doesn't use etherchannels.

    These routers have the following networks configured on their loopback interfaces:

    1.1.1.0 /24
    2.2.2.0 /24
    3.3.3.0 /24
    4.4.4.0 /24

    We need to summarize in the first octet and I need to summarize on a bit boundary, so what are my options?

    0.0.0.0 /7 will cover 0.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.0.

    0.0.0.0 /6 will cover 0.0.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 2.0.0.0 and 3.0.0.0 but i'll miss 4.0.0.0.

    0.0.0.0 /5 will cover 0.0.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 2.0.0.0, 3.0.0.0, 4.0.0.0, 5.0.0.0, 6.0.0.0 and 7.0.0.0.

    That's why we need the 0.0.0.0 /5. /5 in decimal will be 248.0.0.0.

    You can find the AD in your routing table, just do a "show ip route" and it will show up behind the summary route.

    You are right this is a typo. The configuration is correct however.

    Hey guys this lab is not working for me.
    I get error that nothing is connected to Port 7.

    I have the correct IOS, is there anything else I need to change?

  • avatar
    ReneMolenaar

    Do you have issues with any other topologies that you downloaded? Most of the problems are related to filenames/foldernames/IOS names and such.

    Try the following article to see if it resolves your error:

    "•Router Lyptus shouldn't receive any query packets for lost networks. Configure this but make sure not to break connectivity."
    I need help with this bullet point.
    How can this be achieved? Enabeling Lyptus as a stub area breaks the coonection.

    thanks for your time, these labs are great!

    Ensure router Alder does not send EIGRP packets towards its loopback0 interface.
    i made loopback 0 passive interface..is that the correct way?

    - Configure router Walnut so the loopback0 interface of router Lyptus will not be advertised towards router Cherry and Maple.????????? Help me plz..

    Configure router Walnut so the loopback0 interface of router Lyptus will not be advertised towards router Cherry and Maple.

    I tried by rout-map and PBR...but I lost EIGRP routing table on Lyptus...what is the solution?PLZ tell me..

    Thank u about this Lab....Strong effort...I love it

    nsure only one path is used between router Walnut and Lyptus without breaking the EIGRP neighbor adjacency. You are not allowed to change the metrics.

    I used access list and rout-map the Ip policy on fa0/0 and fa1/0


    Could you add the solution of this lab?

  • avatar
    ReneMolenaar

    Using an access-list and PBR could be one way of dealing with this issue. I'll record the video this week and upload it...that'll answer all your questions :)

    On Walnut:
    Create a route map that sets the next-hop Ip address to one of the fastethernet links on Lyptus.

    Create an access -list to match all traffic and add a permit statement to your route map referencing this access-list

    Apply the route map to the interfaces on Walnut that connect to cherry and maple:

    i.e:

    ip access-list extended TEST
    permit ip any any

    route-map TEST permit 10
    match ip address TEST
    set ip next-hop 192.168.45.5

    interface FastEthernet0/0
    ip address 192.168.24.4 255.255.255.0
    ip policy route-map TEST

    Thinks this is a correct way of doing this but rene will put us right!

    This is a good method of doing it. I hope to do some video recording this + next week, i'll do this one for sure so you can see my solution.
