Section 8 – Configuring EIGRP

In this lab you will learn the basics of Cisco’s Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) operation and configuration.

In this lab you will learn how to configure static EIGRP neighbors to enable EIGRP to establish adjacencies over Non-broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA) networks such as Frame Relay.

In this lab you will learn how to configure IP Split-horizon for EIGRP to ensure that routes are propagated correctly on a Frame-Relay hub-and-spoke WAN topology.


In this lab you will learn how to configure an EIGRP router as a stub router to prevent unwanted queries from up stream EIGRP neighbors during network re-convergence.

In this lab you will learn how to manually configure Cisco’s Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Timers to facility network recovery time in the event of an outage.

In this lab you will learn how to configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Maximum Paths to administratively specify how many routes can be used for load balancing.


In this lab you will learn how to configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to disable sending and processing received hello’s on an interface which falls into a network statement using the passive-interface command.

In this lab you will learn how to configure an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) summary route to conserve router resources on upstream neighboring routers.

In this lab you will learn how to configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to advertise a default route throughout the routed domain using an aggregate address.
