How do you configure EIGRP for IPv6?

Configure the EIGRP for the IPv6 routing:

  1. Enable the IPv6 routing on a router.
  2. Assign the router ID of the each router.
  3. Enable the EIGRP for IPv6 routing on every router.
  4. Configure the EIGRP for IPv6 by using the AS 1 on a gigabit Ethernet and serial interfaces on a router.
  5. Determine a neighbor adjacency.

What is the command for enabling EIGRP for IPv6?

Table 3-6 Commands Used in Example 3-20

Command(s) Description
ipv6 unicast-routing Enable IPv6 routing
ipv6 router eigrp 1 Configure EIGRP with AS number 1
no shutdown Enable the EIGRP process
show ipv6 protocol Verify the EIGRP process has started (more on EIGRP verification/show commands in the next section)

Which two aspects of the configuration of EIGRP for IPv6 differ from its configuration for IPv4?

Which two aspects of the configuration of EIGRP for IPv6 differ from its configuration for IPv4? (Choose two.)

  • For IPv6 no router ID is required for the EIGRP routing process to start.
  • No network command is needed to enable EIGRP for IPv6.
  • IPv6 requires a global unicast address on EIGRP interfaces.

What is EIGRP router ID?

Each EIGRP router has a unique 32-bit router ID (RID) number that is represented the same way as an IP address. EIGRP automatically selects the highest IP address on any active loopback interface as the router ID. If there is no loopback interface then the highest IP address on any active interface is used.

How configure IPv6 ospf?

To enable the OSPF-for-IPv6 process on an interface and assign that interface to an area, use the ipv6 ospf ospf-process area area-id command in the interface configuration mode. To be able to enable OSPFv3 on an interface, the interface must be enabled for IPv6.

How to configure EIGRP for IPv6?

After enabling IPv6 routing, it is time to configure EIGRP for IPv6. For this configuration we will use “ ipv6 router eigrp process number ” configuration command. We will create the EIGRP process on the Router. And we will no shutdown this eigrp process.

How do I start EIGRP on my router?

First, you need to start EIGRP with the ipv6 router eigrp command. The number you see is the autonomous system number and it has to match on both routers. Each EIGRP router needs a router ID which is the highest IPv4 address on the router.

How to enable EIGRP for autonomous system 100 on Gigabit Ethernet?

We go to GigabitEthernet0/1 and we use the command ipv6 eigrp 100 and that turns on EIGRP on that specific interface for autonomous system 100. So be careful. Do not get the autonomous system number wrong anywhere in your configuration. If you accidentally typed in 10 there, sorry, autonomous system 10 is not running on this router, 100 is.

What is enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP)?

This document describes how to configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for IPv6. EIGRP is an enhanced version of the IGRP developed by Cisco. It is an enhanced distance vector protocol that relies on the Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path to a destination within a network.
