EIGRP classic and named mode for IPv4 and IPv6

Run classic-mode and named-mode EIGRP side by side in one autonomous system, for IPv4 and IPv6, and learn to read the neighbour, topology and routing tables that every later EIGRP lab relies on.

It needs Lite: its 6 nodes are set to 6 vCPU and 4,096 MB in total. That fits the free demo too.

The scenario

Northwind Freight runs classic EIGRP, AS 100 at its head office (R1 and R2). The network team has just installed two routers for the new regional hub (R3 and R4), and the design standard now says every new router uses named-mode EIGRP with the instance name NWF. Both groups must share one routing domain, so the classic and named routers have to form neighbours and exchange routes. At the same time the company is switching on IPv6, which every link already has addresses for.

Your job is to bring up EIGRP for IPv4 and IPv6 on all four routers, using the mode each site's standard asks for, and to prove the two PCs can reach each other.

Topology: a square. R1–R2 and R1–R3 from HQ, R2–R4 and R3–R4 into the region. Every interface is already addressed and up; no routing protocol is running.

What you’ll practise

  • Enable classic EIGRP for IPv4 with precise network statements, a fixed router ID and a passive LAN interface
  • Build the same AS in named mode with an IPv4 address family and af-interface settings
  • Prove that classic and named routers form adjacencies and exchange routes
  • Add IPv6: classic ipv6 router eigrp on two routers and the named-mode IPv6 address family on the others
  • Interpret show ip eigrp neighbors, show ip eigrp topology, show ip protocols and show eigrp protocols

The tasks

  1. Check the starting point
  2. Classic EIGRP for IPv4 on R1 and R2
  3. Named-mode EIGRP for IPv4 on R3 and R4
  4. Read the EIGRP tables
  5. Classic EIGRP for IPv6 on R1 and R2
  6. The named-mode IPv6 address family on R3 and R4
  7. Test end to end

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder CCNP ENARSI 300-410 guided labs.

  3. Open 01 - EIGRP classic and named mode for IPv4 and IPv6 and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
