Lab ipc-10 - EIGRP Named-Mode AS 100

Lab ipc-10 - EIGRP Named-Mode AS 100 - PingLabz Labs article title card

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is Cisco's dynamic routing protocol. It uses the DUAL algorithm (Diffusing Update Algorithm) and combines distance-vector simplicity with link-state-grade convergence. Originally Cisco-only; now an open IETF informational standard (RFC 7868). Modern Cisco IOS XE uses "named mode" syntax which replaces the older autonomous-system classic mode. This lab configures EIGRP named-mode AS 100 across R1, R2, R3 of the base topology.

What you will learn

  • The named-mode EIGRP syntax (modern) vs classic mode (legacy)
  • How to configure the autonomous system and routing-process router-id
  • The role of address-family unicast within the named-mode hierarchy
  • Per-interface passive/active configuration with af-interface
  • How to read show ip eigrp neighbors and show ip eigrp topology

What this lab does NOT cover

  • Feasible successors and DUAL recalculation - next lab, ipc-11
  • EIGRP authentication (similar pattern to OSPF, separate lab)
  • EIGRP route summarization

Native VLAN Mismatch: Read the CDP Log, Fix the Trunk

%CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH hands you both interfaces and both native VLANs in one line. The real damage is underneath it: untagged frames get re-homed at the trunk boundary and two VLANs quietly become one. Captured live on IOS XE 17.18.2 in CML.
