So in this lab, if you already done the labs up to this point, you're welcome
to go ahead and reset the lab and do it again.
Or if you've already done them fantastic, but I want to make sure he takes some
time to get hands on practice working with, configuring and verifying EIGRP.
So here's a link you do in the lab environment once you launch it, give it a
few moments to initialize it. I'll set up.
Then you go ahead and double click on server1-nug because on server1, that's
where I have multi tab putty all set up.
Ready to go and connect to all the routers. I also have a little text document WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Ready to go and connect to all the routers. I also have a little text document
there regarding configuring EIGRP that you can use for reference or if you want
to copy paste it, feel free as well.
If you're brand new to EIGRP, you might want to take a moment or two and just
manually type in the commands on two or three of the routers.
Make sure you're comfortable with it before you start copying pasting.
And so as far as the configuration goes, you can do traditional EIGRP or named
EIGRP or if you want, you can go ahead and do both to get that practice.
And then for the verification commands, I included a whole list of commands in
the TXT file on server1 that you can use as reference. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
the TXT file on server1 that you can use as reference.
Things like show IP EIGRP neighbors, show IP EIGRP topology, etc.
And then if you want to kick it up a notch, I'll call this bonus points.
If you want to go ahead and enable variance of two on router four, I would love
you to go ahead and get that practice as well.
So it's going to depend a little bit on which way you set up EIGRP. If you set
up EIGRP in the traditional method, you simply type in variance space to in EIG
RP configuration mode.
Or if you configured EIGRP name mode, you do it slightly different. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Or if you configured EIGRP name mode, you do it slightly different.
The command is still variance space to but to get there, you go into your named
EIGRP instance, then you'd go into the address family for IPV4, and then you'd
go into topology base.
And then in topology base, you specify variance to and you're welcome to go
back and refer to any of the videos.
If you'd like to reinforce that or else have those commands in the notepad
document sitting on server one.
And just to confirm that all that is set up and ready to go for you, let's just
take a peek once again at the lab environment.
So here is the lab environment. I just did a reset to go ahead and reset it WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So here is the lab environment. I just did a reset to go ahead and reset it
back to its initial state.
That's how you should find it as well.
And as you're working on the labs, if you ever feel like, oh, I want to reset
this to the basic initial state, go ahead and just use the reset option.
Give it a minute or two, restart the lab. So that's what I did a moment ago. I
just did a reset.
So I'd start off in its initial state.
All right. So here is the lab environment. Here is server one.
So we simply select that and then double click to open that up.
We'll give that a few moments to initialize.
Also, while that's coming up, let's go ahead and open our topology, which is WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Also, while that's coming up, let's go ahead and open our topology, which is
right here.
Fantastic. We have that at our fingertips.
So here is the text document.
And then back here, we have router one and router two, router three. There's
also PC one and PC seven and PC eight that can be used to test basic
connectivity once the routing is all in place.
Again, it's all based on this topology.
And again, to start off, when you open up the lab, just go ahead and double
click on server one to open that up.
And once again, that'll give you all the access to the consoles of all the rout
ers.
And then if you need to or want to, you can leverage the notepad document right WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And then if you need to or want to, you can leverage the notepad document right
here for the configurations.
So have some fun in the hands-on lab when you're done and want a quick review
and walk through, join me in the next video and we'll do exactly that.
