Master EIGRP and EIGRPv6 deployment in Cisco networks with this comprehensive video course and enhance your routing skills for real-world network optimization and certification success.

Master EIGRP with the Deploying EIGRP for Cisco Networks video course, designed to help network professionals effectively implement and manage EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) in Cisco networks. Whether you are just starting out or looking to enhance your skills, this comprehensive course covers everything from basic concepts to advanced configurations.

You will begin by learning the fundamentals of EIGRP, including its hybrid nature that combines the strengths of distance-vector and link-state protocols for efficient routing. The course walks you through configuring EIGRP on Cisco routers, setting up EIGRP authentication for security, and implementing essential features such as route summarization and stub routing to optimize your network.

You will dive deeper into EIGRP path calculations and metrics, understanding how it selects the best routes based on factors such as bandwidth, delay, and load. The course also covers crucial topics such as EIGRP timers, network convergence, troubleshooting issues such as EIGRP stuck in active (SIA), and how to manipulate routes for more efficient decision-making.

For those working with IPv6, the course includes a dedicated section on EIGRPv6, providing in-depth coverage of configuring and troubleshooting EIGRP for IPv6 networks. You will also explore EIGRP over VRF-Lite and learn key strategies for managing WAN deployments, ensuring your network runs smoothly in complex, multi-tenant, or large-scale environments.

By the end of this video course, you will have the skills to configure, deploy, and troubleshoot EIGRP and EIGRPv6, ensuring reliable, scalable, and high-performance routing across your Cisco network infrastructure. This course is perfect for boosting your expertise and advancing your career in network engineering.

Learn How to:

  • Understand EIGRP fundamentals and the role of EIGRP in allowing efficient routing within Cisco networks
  • Configure EIGRP on Cisco routers to establish dynamic, loop-free routing relationships within an autonomous system.
  • Implement EIGRP authentication to secure roting updates and protect the network from unauthorized access
  • Optimize routing tables using EIGRP route summarization and understand the benefits of stub routing for reducing overhead
  • Understand EIGRP path calculations and metrics, and how to influence routing decisions based on bandwidth, delay, and other factors
  • Configure EIGRP timers and understand their impact on network convergence, improving network performance and stability
  • Troubleshoot and resolve EIGRP Stuck in Active (SIA) issues to maintain network reliability and prevent delays in convergence
  • Leverage EIGRP route manipulation techniques, such as route filtering and redistribution, to control route propagation and influence routing decisions
  • Deploy EIGRP over VRF-Lite to isolate routing instances in multi-tenant environments and ensure efficient routing
  • Configure and troubleshoot EIGRPv6 for IPv6 networks and ensure smooth transition and compatibility between EIGRP for IPv4 and EIGRPv6
  • Apply best practices for EIGRP troubleshooting by diagnosing and resolving common issues to maintain a stable and efficient network
