EIGRPv6 Configuration
EIGRPv6 behaves much like its IPv4 counterpart, EIGRP. Once enabled on all routers in an internetwork, the routers exchange EIGRP messages. Those messages allow the routers to discover neighbors, form neighbor relationships, advertise subnets along with their metric components, and calculate metrics for competing routes using the same old calculation. EIGRPv6 also uses the same successor and feasible successor (FS) logic, and DUAL processing when no FS exists.
Differences do exist, of course, with the most obvious being that EIGRPv6 advertises IPv6 prefixes, not IPv4 subnets. The messages flow in IPv6 packets, many going to IPv6 multicast address FF02::A. But most of the big ideas mirror EIGRP for IPv4.
