Full Form of EIGRP
- Full Form of EIGRP is Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol.
EIGRP stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. It is a routing protocol which help the routers to find the best path or route from source to destination where a lot of network or routers are connected with each other. It is used just like other network protocols to find the path from source to destination.
It is a cisco proprietary protocol which means it only work on cisco routers. If all the routers in the internet network are of cisco than EIGRP can be configured into that network. It is the successor of IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol).
It is also known as Hybrid Routing Protocol because it is the made from the best features of Distance Vector routing protocols and link state routing protocols. And can also be known as Advanced Distance Vector Routing Protocols in some Documents.
What are the standards that we use in EIGRP?
- Bandwidth
- Delay
- Load
- Link Reliability.
What are the features of EIGRP?
- It uses DUAL (diffusion update algorithm)
- It supports protocols like IP, IPX, Apple Talk etc.
- The rate of intersection if fast.
- Every 5 seconds a Hello packet is send.
- It is supports low cost and efficient.
What is DUAL?
DUAL stands for Diffusing Update Algorithm. It is a formula which is used to configure EIGRP and find the most efficient and low-cost route to the destination.
What are the other types of routing EIGRP support?
- Classless Routing
- VLSM
