EIGRP Basic Configuration:
Let us do basic configuration of EIGRP protocols on cisco routers. Wildcard mask is 32 bits long.
It is inverted subnet masks, with the zero bits indicating that the corresponding bit position
must match the same bit position in the IP address. The one bits indicate that the
corresponding bit position does not have to match the bit position in the IP address.
To form a neighborship, EIGRP has these requirements:
1) Interface’s primary IP addresses must be on the same subnet.
2) Connected interface must not be passive.
3) Routers must use the same AS number.
4) Must pass authentication.
5) K-values must match.
Commands Description
R1(config)#router eigrp 1 Enter EIGRP mode
R1(config-router)#network 192.168.12.0 Advertise 192.168.12.0 network
R1(config-router)#network 1.1.1.0 Advertise 1.1.1.0 network
R1#show run | sec eigrp To verify by running configuration
router eigrp 1 EIGRP with AS 1
network 1.0.0.0 Its convert 1.1.1.0 network class A
network 192.168.12.0
R1(config)#router eigrp 1 Enter EIGRP mode

R1(config)#router eigrp 1 Enter EIGRP mode
R1(config-router)#no network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 Remove network
R1(config-router)#network 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 With subnetmask not with wildcard
R1#show run | sec eigrp Verify by running configuration
router eigrp 1 EIGRP with AS 1
network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 IOS converted subnetmask to wildcard
R1(config)#router eigrp 1 Enter EIGRP mode with AS 1

neighbor adjacency, K value mismatch
R2(config)#router eigrp 1 Enter EIGRP mode with AS 1
R2(config-router)#network 0.0.0.0 Advertise all networks
