Chapter 5. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

Now that you have learned about and practiced with some basic and advanced routing protocols, this chapter covers a protocol developed by Cisco Systems used on Cisco IOS routers only.

The chapter starts by covering the basic Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) concepts. It then explains of how EIGRP can be configured and monitored.

You discover how EIGRP learns about new neighbors and how EIGRP operates in NBMA networks. The five scenarios in this chapter help to complete your understanding of EIGRP and ensure that you have all the basic IP networking knowledge to complement your understanding of today's most widely used networking protocol, IP.
