Lab Objective:
The focus of this lab is to understand EIGRP implementation and configuration in Cisco IOS routers. Additional technologies tested include split horizon and next-hop processing.
Lab Topology:
The lab network topology is illustrated below:
|
IMPORTANT NOTE If you are using the www.howtonetwork.net racks, please bring up the LAN interfaces connected to the routers by issuing the no shutdown command on the connected switches. If you are using a home lab with no interface fastethernet 0/0 Alternately, you can simply connect the interfaces to a hub or switch if you have one available in your own lab. Also, if you are using the www.howtonetwork.net racks, configure R3 as the Frame Relay switch using the following configuration commands: hostname R3-Frame-Relay-Switch |
Task 1
Configure hostnames and IP addressing on all routers as illustrated in the network topology.
Task 2
Configure EIGRP for AS 1 as illustrated in the topology. Use a single ‘network’ command to enable EIGRP for all interfaces. No EIGRP packets should be sent out of the LAN interfaces.
Task 3
Configure EIGRP so that routers R2 and R4 are able to ping each others’ 150.x.x.x/24 subnets, as well as the 150.1.1.0/24 subnet connected to R1. Do NOT use default or static routing to do this.
Task 4
Additional spoke routers will be added to the Frame Relay network in the future. In order to easily identify which spoke router is advertising which 150.x.x.x subnet, configure EIGRP so that the next hop IP address for each 150.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the router that advertised it instead of the IP address of the hub router (R1). For example, on R2, the next hop IP address of the 150.4.4.0/24 subnet should be 10.0.0.4.
Task 5
Configure the network so that spoke R2 and R4 routers can ping each others’ 150.x.x.x/24 subnets. Test your configuration by pinging LAN-to-LAN between the spoke routers.
