Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

About EIGRP

In comparison to prior network protocols like Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Border Gateway Protocol, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) allows routers to communicate information more quickly (BGP).

Similar to RIP and IGRP, EIGRP uses neighborhood updates to determine the least expensive route to a destination. The price to go from a router R to a destination network N is included in an update from that router. The reported distance is the price for this service (RD).

EIGRP is the protocol which enables data exchange amongst different networks and is used on internet. EIGRP has gained immense popularity across the globe resulting in huge demand for certified professionals.

Why is EIGRP important?

By only allowing "need-based" updates, EIGRP reduces network traffic. It offers security encryption and works with iBGP for WAN routing. Multiple layer protocols can be routed using EIGRP using protocol-dependent modules. With a multi-address family, it handles the change much more easily.

EIGRP is more efficient and provides many options for easy configuration and management. EIGRP certified professionals, executives and managers are in high demand in companies across the globe.

Who should take the EIGRP Exam?

• IT managers, senior executives, executives
  
• Network Engineer
• Network administrators
• Network support technicians
• Help desk technicians
• Enterprise network engineers
• System engineers
• System administrators
