Challenge Lab 14: Easy EIGRP

Lab Objective:

The objective of this lab exercise is for you to configure EIGRP using two ASNs. One ASN will run between RouterA and RouterB and the other between RouterB and RouterC.

Lab Purpose:

EIGRP is a fundamental CCNA topic. I have provided show runs and test commands where appropriate.

Certification Level:

This lab is suitable for both ICND and CCNA certification exam preparation.

Lab Difficulty:

This lab has a difficulty rating of 7/10.

Readiness Assessment:

When you are ready for your certification exam, you should complete this lab in no more than 15 minutes.

Lab Topology:

Please use the following topology to complete this lab exercise:

Challenge Lab 14: Easy EIGRP 1

Task 1:

Configure the topology above. Test by pinging from RouterA to RouterB, then RouterB to RouterC. You will not be able to ping from A to C until you have configured EIGRP.

Task 2:

Configure EIGRP between all routers with each interface/subnet and with the correct ASN.

Task 3:

Check your configurations with show commands.

Solution

I cheated a bit here so you may have struggled. ASN 10 will not speak to ASN 20 without you adding another command not covered in the CCNA exam. But, I do know that Cisco can be sneaky and I’ve seen other stuff not in the syllabus put into the exam, leaving the test-taker confused and angry! I can’t say I blame them.

Just have a play with the redistribute command and then re-do the lab, but just put everything into ASN 10 and it will work fine. I just wanted to give you an extra command to learn just in case.
