EIGRP for IPv6 or EIGRPv6 is the IPv6 compatible version of EIGRP routing protocol. The basic features of EIGRPv6 routing protocol remain same as EIGRP routing protocol. In order to configure EIGRP for IPv6, first of all, you should be familiar with the basics of EIGRP protocol. To …

Similar to IPv4 compatible routing protocol, there are also IPv6 compatible protocols such as RIPng and EIGRPv6. If your network is based on IPv6 addressing scheme, you have to configure an IPv6 Routing protocol to perform the routing functions. In this lab exercise, we will explain how to …

IPv6 is the next generation of IPv4 IP addressing scheme. IPv6 addressing supports more addresses and security features than IPv4 IP addressing scheme. Most of the people think that configuring IPv6 addresses is difficult than IPv4. However, trust me, once you become familiar with the IPv6 you will …

We will use the following topology to demonstrate how to perform redistribution between EIGRP and OSPF. We assume that all the devices have already configured with the appropriate IP addresses. 1.  Once you have configure IP addresses, execute the following commands to configure EIGRP routing on Router1. CopyRouter1( …

Route redistribution is a technique that allows routes learned by one routing protocol or algorithm to be advertised into another routing protocol or algorithm. For the simplicity and ease of management of an internetwork, it is always preferred to use a single routing protocol or algorithm. However, this …

Before configuring IPX routing, we assume that you know the basics of Novel IPX Protocol Stack. Once you are familiar with the basics of Novell’s IPX/ SPX model, you can start to configure IPX on the Cisco routers. To be honest, configuring IPX is more easy as compared …

In the previous exercise, we have discussed basics of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol and how to configure OSPF routing. In this lab exercise, we will explain how the OSPF protocol decides the best (or shortest) path to a destination network and how to configure OSPF …

OSPF stands for Open Standard Path First. It is an open standard link state routing protocol. It uses cost metric to calculate the best route from source to destination for a given network. It supports unlimited number of hops and typically used for large networks such as Internet. …
