EIGRP Case Study

Topology Diagram

Instructions

Plan, design, and implement the complex international Travel Agency (ITA) EIGRP network based on the above diagram and following specifications.

Implement the design in the lab set of routers; verify that all configurations are operational and functioning according to the guidelines.

 Scenario

The ITA needs its core network set up with EIGRP with the following specifications. It has also recently acquired Local Travel Agency, which was running OSPF. Use the addressing scheme shown in the diagram.

·         The ITA core network is running EIGRP in AS 1.

·         Summarize the loopback interfaces on R2 with the best possible summary to the other EIGRP routers

·         Loopback 192 on R3 represents a connection to the Internet. Originate a default route into EIGRP from R3.

·         The Local Travel Agency router, R4, needs to communicate with the ITA core via OSPF area 0.

·         Redistribute OSPF into EIGRP.

·         Originate a default route into the OSPF process from R3.

·         Configure R2 to act as a DHCP server on the Ethernet subnet between R2 and R3.

Solution

1.     The ITA core network is running EIGRP in AS 1.

NOTE: For EIGRP to propagate the route, the network specified by the ip default-network command must be known to EIGRP. This means the network must be an EIGRP-derived network in the routing table, or the static route used to generate the route to the network must be redistributed into EIGRP, or advertised into these protocols using the network command.

TIP: In a complex topology, many networks can be identified as candidate defaults. Without any dynamic protocols running, you can configure your router to choose from a number of candidate default routes based on whether the routing table has routes to networks other than 0.0.0.0/0. The ip default-network command enables you to configure robustness into the selection of a gateway of last resort. Rather than configuring static routes to specific next hops, you can have the router choose a default route to a particular network by checking in the

Routing table.
