EIGRP is a hybrid routing protocol that uses DUAL algorithm. It supports IP, IPX and Appletalk and uses reliable transport protocol. EIGRP has internal administrative distance of 90 and external of 170. It uses hello packets, update packets, query packets and reply packets. The default metric is based on bandwidth and delay. EIGRP can experience stuck in active issues if queries are not responded to within timers. EIGRP stub routing allows selective route advertisement.

In IOS version 12.2 or higher, after 90 seconds a second SIA message is sent as SIA Query which helps to prevent the route from going SIA in case the neighbour relationship is still up but a response was not received. To avoid it (generally), either use Passive Interfaces, Stubs or Summarise properly. EIGRP Stub Options Connected: Advertise connected routes for interfaces matched with the network command Summary: Advertise auto-summarized or manually configured summary routes Redistributed: Advertise routes learned from configured redistribution Receive-only: No routes are advertised Static: Advertise static routes but must be used with the “redistribute static” command Please send feedback at [email protected] www.theprohack.com
