CCNA Exploration 2, Chapter 9. “EIGRP” Worksheet #2
Name:
1. What are the values that EIGRP uses in its composite metric to calculate the preferred path to a network? Are all of these used by default? Which ones are and aren’t used by default?
2. What is the “tos” value in EIGRP and why is it always set to “0”?
3. Explain what “K” values are in EIGRP:
4. When and why should you modify the bandwidth value in EIGRP?
5. Describe the Delay metric in EIGRP. What is the delay metric actually describing?
6. Describe the Reliability Metric used by EIGRP:
7. Describe the Load Metric used by EIGRP:
8. What do you do if the actual bandwidth of the link does not match the default bandwidth of the interface? Describe how you would do this:
9. Can you use the bandwidth command to increase or decrease the actual bandwidth of a link?
10. What does the bandwidth command actually modify?
11. How can you simplify the calculation of the composite metric used by EIGRP?
12. Be sure to do the Packet Tracer Exploration 9.3.4: Examine and Modify the EIGRP Metric.
13. What is a successor?
14. Define Feasible Distance (FD):
15. Define feasibility condition (FC):
16. What is a Feasible Successor?
17. Define Reported Distance (RD):
18. What is the topology database in EIGRP routing?
19. What command is used to view the topology table?
20. Describe what is meant by a route being in a “passive” state vs. being in an “active” state:
21. Describe and define what is meant by the DUAL Finite State Machine (FSM):
22. Be sure to do the Packet Tracer Exploration 9.4.6: Investigating Successors and Feasible Successors.
23. Describe the use of the redistribute static command with EIGRP:
24. What is the other method used to propagate a default route in EIGRP? Describe it:
25. By default, EIGRP will use only up to ______________
