Part 3: IP Routing Protocols

Lab 8: EIGRP Frame Relay Configuration II

Overview
This lab begins with a mostly working internetwork, with valid IP addresses on all routers and PCs.
Routers R1, R2, and R3 have already been configured with EIGRP autonomous system number
(ASN) 10 on all interfaces, with the automatic summarization feature enabled. This lab guides you
through a configuration for EIGRP (with auto-summarization) on router R4. This lab will then list
routes on R1 showing auto-summarization working.

Detailed Lab Steps
Step 1. Connect to R1 from the simulator user interface using the password ciscopress.
Step 2. Issue the show ip route command. How many routes are listed? Which subnets and net-
works are listed? Is there a route that matches the subnet on R4’s LAN?

Step 3. Connect to R4 from the simulator user interface using the password ciscopress.
Step 4. Use the show ip interface brief command to list each interface’s IP address and inter-
face status. What are the IP addresses of each “up/up” interface?

Step 5. Enter privileged exec mode using the enable command and password ciscopress, and
then move to global configuration mode using the configure terminal command.
Step 6. Configure EIGRP with ASN 10 by entering the router eigrp 10 command.
Step 7. Enable EIGRP on R4’s Fa0/0 interface using the network 192.168.4.0 command.
Step 8. Enable EIGRP on R4’s S0/0/0 interface using the network 192.168.103.0 command.
Given the configuration in the last few steps, and the default setting of auto-summary
for EIGRP, what route(s) should R4 now be advertising to R1?

Step 9. Disable auto-summarization for EIGRP on R4 by entering the no auto-summary com-

mand. What route(s) should R4 now be advertising to R1?

Step 10. Enter the end command to return to enable mode.

Step 11. Connect to R1 from the simulator user interface using the password ciscopress.

 Step 12. Issue the show ip route command. Focus on routes learned from R4 (192.168.103.2).
What routes are shown? Notice the mask. Does the mask tell you that the route is for the
entire classful network or a subnet of a classful network?

Table 1 Hints and Answers

Step Hint or Answer

2 You will see that the routing table is populated with six subnets and networks: four connected
subnets and two entire classful networks, as follows:
R1’s connected subnets:
192.168.1.0/25
192.168.101.0/30
192.168.102.0/30
192.168.103.0/30
Learned from R2 (192.168.101.2):
192.168.2.0/24
Learned from R3 (192.168.102.2):
192.168.3.0/24
4 R4 has two working interfaces, as follows:
S0/0/0.1: 192.168.103.2
Fa0/0: 192.168.4.1
8 With the default setting of auto-summary, R4 recognizes the fact that it is on the boundary
between Class C networks 192.168.4.0 and 192.168.103.0. As a result, when R4 advertises
about its LAN subnet (in Class C network 192.168.4.0) in updates sent over the WAN (in Class
C network 192.168.103.0), R4 automatically summarizes the 192.168.4.0/25 route in the
192.168.4.0/24 route, which represents an entire Class C network.
9 With the nondefault setting of no auto-summary, R4 ignores the fact that it is on the boundary
between Class C networks 192.168.4.0 and 192.168.103.0. As a result, R4 would advertise the
subnet 192.168.4.0/25, instead of advertising the entire Class C network of 192.168.4.0/24.
12 R1 does list a route for the subnet 192.168.4.0/25 with next hop 192.168.103.2 (R4).
