Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: EIGRP Route Summarization
Summarizing routes is a vital skill to learn to pass the BSCI exam and get one step closer to earning your CCNP. The actual binary conversions are only part of the test, though! You’ve got to know how to correctly apply the summary routes, and that differs from one protocol to the next. In the last few CCNP / BSCI tutorials, we’ve looked at using the “area range” and “summary-address” commands to perform OSPF route summarization. Today, we’ll take a look at summarizing routes in EIGRP.
We’ll use the following four loopback addresses in this example:
Loopback 16, 16.16.16.16 /32
Loopback 17, 17.17.17.17 /32
Loopback 18, 18.18.18.18 /32
Loopback 19. 19.19.19.19 /32
On R1, we’ll place these four addresses into EIGRP AS 100.
R1(config-if)#router eigrp 100
R1(config-router)#network 16.16.16.16 0.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#network 17.17.17.17 0.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#network 18.18.18.18 0.0.0.0
R1(config-router)#network 19.19.19.19 0.0.0.0
R3 is an EIGRP neighbor of R1, and that...
