Ipv6 Cisco Training: How To Enable Ipv6 Eigrp
Now, some of you maybe wondering, why did he write an article on how to
enable EIGRPv6 on a Cisco Router, when I already know how to do that? Well, to answer your question, enabling EIGRP on a router that is
running on an IPv6 network, is slightly different from enabling EIGRP
on a router that is running on an IPv4 network.
Meaning, a router that is running on an IPv6
network, had EIGRP (EIGRPv6) enabled per interface, instead of globally
like a router running on an IPv4 network would. So, in other words,
when enabling EIGRPv6 on a Cisco router, you don’t need to use the
“network” command when the router is in Router Configuration Mode. Instead you’ll need to perform the following steps: 1. Router>enable 2. Router#configure terminal 3. Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing 4. Router(config)#interface type number 5. Router(config-if)#ipv6 enable 6. Router(config-if)#ipv6 eigrp as-number 7. Router(config-if)#no shutdown 8. Router(config-if)#ipv6 router eigrp as-number 9. Router(config-router)#router-id {ip-address | ipv6-address} 10. Router(config-router)#no shutdown 11. Router(config-router)#exit 12. Router(config)#exit 13. Router#copy run start Steps Explained: Step #1 1. Router>enable Puts router into Privileged EXEC mode. Step #2 2. Router#configure terminal Puts router into Global configuration mode. Step #3 3. Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing Configures the router to route IPv6 packets Step #4 4. Router(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0 Specifies the fastethernet 0/0 interface on which EIGRPv6 is to be configured. Step #5 5. Router(config-if)#ipv6 enable Enables IPv6 processing on the fastethernet 0/0 interface. Step #6 6. Router(config-if)#ipv6 eigrp 1 Enables the EIGRP for IPv6 process on the fastethernet 0/0 interface. Step #7 7. Router(config-if)#no shutdown Starts the EIGRP for IPv6 protocol (process) without changing any per-interface configuration. Step #8 8. Router(config-if)#ipv6 router eigrp 1 Puts the router into router configuration mode and creates an EIGRP for IPv6 routing process. Step #9 9. Router(config-router)#router-id {ip-address | ipv6-address} Enables the router to use a fixed router ID. (Remember each router Id must be unique) Step #10 10. Router(config-router)#no shutdown Put the EIGRPv6 routing process in “no shutdown” mode in order to start the EIGRPv6 process. Step #11 11. Router(config-router)#exit Returns the router to Global configuration mode Step #12 12. Router(config)#exit Returns the router to Privileged EXEC mode. Step #13 13. Router#copy run start Saves the contents of the running-config to local Non -Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). I invite you to visit my website were you’ll find the latest
