Cisco Lab 9.6.2

LAB CISCO 9.6.2

1. What you did / What was the purpose?

For this lab, it is basically about configuring EIGRP to the router, what i did is assigned the ip address to the host, router and the loopback (LO),for EIGRP it means enhanced interior gateway routing protocol. This EIGRP allowed routers change information more efficient. I also had configure the VLSM for the network. From my understanding the purpose of doing the VLSM is because by creating it together in sequence block of address to specific areas of the network can easily summarized the network and keep routes update with a routing protocol to the most minimum. For the summarization, it means that the ability to provides routes updates in the most efficient way possible by advertising many routes in one advertisement instead of individual, summarization can also be called as supernetting. In this way it will save a lot of bandwidth and minimize router processing. When creating the VLSM i need to understand how block size and chart works together to create the VLSM mask. I also had address the network according to the given topology. There is also the configuration to erase the startup configuration. That is what I did for this lab.

2. What difficulties you faced / How you overcame them

For every lab of course to calculate the ip,the subnetting,it is very difficult for me to understand between the private ip and public ip which is the most important thing to know when to do subnetting,not the topology of the network,i refer to the video provided by the cisco.

3. How you tested your lab

I tested the outcome using the packet tracer. By construct the same topology shown in the lab,I had assigned the same ip address that i had count and test the connection.

4. What you learned?

I learned the new command to enable EIGRP, and at the same time configuring the right connected network to the routing updates. And another one is the updating the EIGRP update on the interface. The needs of EIGRP is to...
