Some say it stands for DUAL, the update algorithm used by EIGRP. Some say it is because the letter E already was taken by EGP so they used the next letter in the alphabet.

A network administrator is using an application that is monitoring packets on the network and sees an EIGRP update packet What is the purpose of the update packet?

bobo The packet is sent to discover neighbors within the EIGRP network. The packet is sent to search for network devices within an EIGRP network. The packet is used to propagate routing information within the EIGRP network. The packet is used to send an unreachable reply to another router within the EIGRP network.


How you configure both eigrp and ospf to transfer a packet eigrp to ospf and ospf to eigrp?

we would need to redistribute ospf routes into eigrp and vice versa. redistribution will have to be done on an ASBR(autonomus system boundry router) eg: we have an ospf process wid process id 10 running and eigrp with ASN 20 running in our network redistribution on ASBR would be conf t router ospf 10 redistribute eigrp 20 subnets metric 1 and in eigrp conf t router eigrp 20 redistribute ospf metric 1 1 1 1 1 we see i used 5 ones in eigrp process to redistribute opsf into eigrp. thes 1's are metrics for eigrp namely load bandwidth delay reliability

What are some seven letter words with 1st letter D and 3rd letter D and 5th letter A and 7th letter D?

According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern D-D-A-D. That is, seven letter words with 1st letter D and 3rd letter D and 5th letter A and 7th letter D. In alphabetical order, they are: doddard


A router has learned two equal cost paths to a remote network via the eigrp and rip protocols. Both protocols are using their default configurations. Which path to the remote network will be installed?

When you have multiple routing protocols running (e.g. RIP, OSPF, EIGRP), the one with the lowest administrative distance is used for the routing table. The metric is different; it's used within the routing protocol to determine which route is best to a certain network. EIGRP has a AD of 90. RIP has an AD of 120. Since EIGRP has a lower AD, it will be used for the routing table.


How do igrp and eigrp differ in their metric calculation?

IGRP and EIGRP use the same metric calculation, but EIGRP's metric value is multiplied by 256 to give it more granularity in its decision making.
