EIGRP for IP: Basic Operation and Configuration (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series)

Cisco's EIGRP routing protocol is increasingly popular in enterprise IP networks -- but accurate, readable EIGRP documentation is scarce, so many EIGRP networks don't run nearly as well as they might. Now, a team of Cisco network engineers has distilled everything you need to know to implement, operate, and troubleshoot EIGRP successfully into one concise guide! The book begins with EIGRP theory, explaining the basic concepts, terminology, and mechanisms used by EIGRP to provide routing information. Next, the authors introduce each of the most important EIGRP configuration options; and review fundamental network design principles within the framework of EIGRP's capabilities. Along the way, they present practical tips on network architecture, and on addressing common EIGRP network scenarios. The final chapter presents comprehensive troubleshooting guidance on the most common problems encountered in EIGRP network. For all network engineers, designers, and IT professionals working with Cisco's EIGRP protocol; and for anyone studying for CCIE certification.
