Chapter 7. EIGRP

The main purpose in Cisco’s development of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) was to create a classless version of IGRP. EIGRP includes several features that are not commonly found in other distance vector routing protocols such as RIP (RIPv1 and RIPv2) and IGRP. Although EIGRP may act like a link-state routing protocol, it is still a distance vector routing protocol.

Characteristics of EIGRP

EIGRP is considered an advanced distance vector routing protocol because it has characteristics not found in other distance vector protocols like RIP and IGRP.

Describe Basic EIGRP Features

A major difference between EIGRP and other distance vector protocols is the algorithm it uses to calculate the best rate. Name and ...
