About Cisco EIGRP(二)

Posted by admin in CISCO

As with most other routing protocols, the best path to a destination is the path with the lowest metric. EIGRP has the ability to use several variables to compute the metric to a destination network. The first five listed above are those variables: bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, and MTU. Only bandwidth and delay are used by default. It is highly recommended that the defaults be maintained, because using other variables can result in unknown problems in your network.

The values of bandwidth and delay are determined from the bandwidth and delay values associated with the router interfaces. There are default values, but the values can be changed per interface with the bandwidth and delay subinterface commands.

The formula for computing EIGRP metrics follows:

Metric – {[K1 * Bandwidth + (K2 * Bandwidth)/(256 – Load) + K3 * Delay] * [K5/(Reliability + K4)]} * 256

The default K-values follow: K1 = 1; K2 = 0; K3 = 1; K4 = 0; K5 = 0; therefore, the metric formula can be simplified to:

Metric = (Bandwidth + Delay) * 256

Bandwidth = 10000000/Minimum bandwidth along path; and Delay = Sum of delays along path.

Therefore, the final metric formula becomes:

([10000000/Minimum bandwidth] + Sum of delay/10) * 256

Note: Formula uses the bandwidth in kilobits per second and delay as configured on the interface, which is in microseconds.

Metric example:

figure5

In this example, the total cost (metric) for Router_A to get to Network A through Router_B would be:

Minimum bandwidth = 128kbps
Total delay = 100 + 100 + 1000 = 1200/10 ms

([10000000/128] + 1200/10) * 256 = 20030720

The total cost to the same destination through Router_C follows:

Minimum bandwidth = 512kbps
Total delay = 1000 + 100 + 100 = 1200/10 ms

([10000000/512] + 1200/10) * 256 = 5030720

The path through Router_C has the lowest cost. Router_A would, therefore, choose the path through Router_C as the best path and put it in its routing table. This path would then be known as the successor (explained later).

In the above topology, the metric of Router_B to Network A would be 307200. Router_C would also have a metric of 307200 to Network A.

Detailed Information

In this module, you will learn the basic concepts behind EIGRP. You will also do hands-on Configuration Labs to learn some fundamental concepts of EIGRP, and a Challenge Lab to test your troubleshooting knowledge.

Objectives:

At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:

  • Describe the Reliable Transport Protocol and its function in EIGRP.
  • Summarize the neighbor discovery and recovery processes.
  • Discuss the process of EIGRP metric calculation and list the variables used.
  • Describe how EIGRP determines which paths are loop free.
  • Describe the process used to clear bad routes from EIGRP routing tables.
  • Describe the query process used to find paths to lost destinations.
  • Describe address summarization.
  • Summarize the administrative distance used by EIGRP to select routes.
  • Describe redistribution.
  • Discuss load balancing, over both equal- and unequal-cost paths.
  • Describe the three approaches to configuring default routing.

Labs(5):

  • Configuration Lab: Configuration, Updates and Acknowledgements, and Debugging
  • Configuration Lab: Load Balancing with Variance
  • Configuration Lab: Redistribution
  • Configuration Lab: Redistribution with an Autonomous System
  • Challenge Lab: EIGRP

DUAL  Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL),

EIGRP, on the other hand, builds a topology table from information it learns from each of its neighbors. The information sent by EIGRP is nonperiodic and contains only new information. Using the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL), EIGRP then chooses a best path (successor) and alternate loop-free paths (feasible successors) that allow for fast convergence. This information is kept in a topology table separate from the routing table. Upon losing a route to a destination, EIGRP looks for feasible successors in its topology table. If a feasible successor does exist, EIGRP begins using it immediately. If no feasible successors exist, EIGRP queries its neighbors.

For all the above to be accomplished, the components of EIGRP must provide:

  • Reliable transport mechanism
  • Neighbor discovery/recovery process, which allows EIGRP routers to discover and track other EIGRP speaking routers that are on directly connected networks; part of this process must be done reliably (guaranteed)
  • A way to discover which paths are loop free
  • A process to clear bad routes from the topology table of all routers on the network
  • A process for querying neighbors to find paths for lost destinations

 

 

Reliable Transport Protocol (可靠传输协议)
  1.EIGRP updates and hellos are destined to the multicast address 224.0.0.10.

  2.Protocol Number:88

EIGRP uses multiple packet types for reliable transport, all of which are identified by protocol number 88 in the IP header.

  • Hello packets are used to discover and recover neighbors. They are multicast and use unreliable delivery (no acknowledgment necessary).
  • Acknowledgments are used for reliable delivery and are always unicast.
  • Updates are used to convey route information. Updates are transmitted only when there is a change in the topology; they contain only the changed information, and they are sent only to routers that require the information. If only one router requires the update information, the updates are unicast; otherwise the updates are multicast. Updates use reliable delivery.
  • Queries and replies are used by DUAL. Queries can be multicast or unicast, and replies are always unicast. Queries and replies use reliable delivery.

    Question: Fill in the blanks:
    Each EIGRP neighbor receiving a ______ packet will ______ an acknowledgment.

    a. unicast, broadcast

    b. broadcast, unicast

    c. multicast, unicast

    d. unicast, multicast

     

    When a router receives the hello packet from a new neighbor, EIGRP attempts to exchange routing updates with the neighbor. The updates contain all routes known by the sending routers and the metrics of those routes. When an EIGRP router receives updates from its neighbors, it builds a second table, the topology table, from which it builds a routing (forwarding) table. The topology table contains information needed to build a set of metrics and next hops to each reachable network, including:

    • Lowest bandwidth on the path to the destination
    • Total delay
    • Path reliability
    • Path loading
    • Minimum-path maximun transmission unit (MTU)
    • Feasible distance
    • Reported distance
    • Route source

     

    Question: How can an EIGRP packet be identified by looking at the IP header? (choose all that apply)

      a. Header will have User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Port 88

      b. Header will have TCP Port 88

      c. Header will have destination address of 224.0.0.10

      d. Header will have IP protocol number 88

      e. None of the above

    配置EIGRP的基本步骤:
    1.

    R2(config)#router eigrp ?
      <1-65535>  Autonomous system number  启动EIGRP

    R2(config)#network network-number [wildcard-mask]  宣告参与EIGRP的网络

    R2(config)#auto-summary / no auto-summary 启用和打开自动汇总功能。默认为打开。

    R2(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp [as-number] [address] [mask] 在接口模式下手工汇总。

     

    R2(config-router)#variance ?
      <1-128>  Metric variance multiplier 设置不等价的负载均衡为多少条。

    R2(config-router)#eigrp stub ?
      connected     Do advertise connected routes
      receive-only  Set IP-EIGRP as receive only neighbor
      static        Do advertise static routes
      summary       Do advertise summary routes
      <cr>

    EIGRP区域类型设置。

    在hub-spoke网络中使用,提高路由稳定性,stub路由器向邻居汇报它为stub router,邻居不查询stub router,缺省配置为connected和summary

    connected: 指定该路由器可以把和它直接相连的网络信息传递给它的邻居,这个选项默认是开启的。

    receive-only : 不能和其它3个参数(connected,static,summary)一起使用。只接收从邻居路由器发送来的信息。

    static : 把静态路由信息传递给它的邻居。

    summary:把汇总路由信息传递给它的邻居,这个选项默认是开启的。
