Cisco's EIGRP routing protocol is increasingly popular in enterprise IP networks -- but accurate, readable EIGRP documentation is scarce, so many EIGRP networks don't run nearly as well as they might. Now, a team of Cisco network engineers has distilled everything you need to know to implement, operate, and troubleshoot EIGRP successfully into one concise guide! The book begins with EIGRP theory, explaining the basic concepts, terminology, and mechanisms used by EIGRP to provide routing information. Next, the authors introduce each of the most important EIGRP configuration options; and review fundamental network design principles within the framework of EIGRP's capabilities. Along the way, they present practical tips on network architecture, and on addressing common EIGRP network scenarios. The final chapter presents comprehensive troubleshooting guidance on the most common problems encountered in EIGRP network. For all network engineers, designers, and IT professionals working with Cisco's EIGRP protocol; and for anyone studying for CCIE certification.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) from Cisco Systems is one of the most widely used intra-domain routing protocols in todayis corporate networks. Although EIGRP is easily configured, the inner workings are generally not well understood. The result: nonoptimized networks that lead to chronic and costly problems requiring time and energy to solve.
EIGRP for IP is a concise, complete, and practical guide to understanding and working with EIGRP. It focuses on EIGRP in the context of IP, although the principles learned from this guide can be applied to the other major network protocols that EIGRP supports, including IPX and AppleTalk.
The book provides an overview of essential concepts, terminology, and EIGRP mechanisms, in addition to a look at the most important configuration options. It examines network design with regard to EIGRPis capabilities, offering concrete tips for specific design issues that arise in EIGRP networks. Also featured is an experience-based guide to EIGRP troubleshooting, with solutions to many commonly encountered problems.
Specific topics covered include:
* The foundations of EIGRP, including the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL)
* A comparison of EIGRP to other interior gateway routing protocols
* Configuring summarization
* Standard and extended access distribution lists
* Hierarchy and redundancy in network topology
* Path selection
* Multiple EIGRP autonomous systems
* Isolating misbehaving routers
* Solving problems with neighbor relationships
* Stuck in Active (SIA) routes
Serving as both a complete reference and a practical handbook, EIGRP for IP is an essential resource for network professionals charged with maintaining an efficient, smoothly functioning network. 0201657732B04062001

Consise and precise,
By wjackson "william-jackson" (Gibraltar) - See all my reviews
This review is from: EIGRP for IP: Basic Operation and Configuration (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series) (Paperback)
For a book that weighs in at only 100 pages it seemed rather lightweight in comparison to other EIGRP/routing books I have read. But the quality of the content is very consise. The book is well paced and covers all aspects of EIGRP. From the mechanics of the protocol through to setup and network design decisions. The protocol troubleshooting sections are worth the price of the book in itself ( Far better than any others I have read) . And for the low price this is an excellent purchase.Top Notch.

Nicely written book for rarely found subject,
By Arabisc (New York, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: EIGRP for IP: Basic Operation and Configuration (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series) (Paperback)
Pros:This is one of the only two books available covering EIGRP in details. Most of other routing references do not have the same level on in-detail descriptions and protocol-specific information this book has. Add to that the smooth style of the authors which makes reading this book a pleasant experience Cons: May be EIGRP's code is not finalized yet and there are many enhancements added after this book is published. I think the authors need to issue a second edition with more information regard new features in the protocol. Although the book gives numerous examples of real life scenarios, It cames short of small pool of theoretical details " which are necessary if you run into *other* scenario rather than the ones listed. Finally, as many networks are migrating from IGRP to EIGRP, I think the authors should designate section for the migration process
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, enough to learn and use EIGRP,
This review is from: EIGRP for IP: Basic Operation and Configuration (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series) (Paperback)
Very nice, enough to learn and troubleshoot EIGRP without all the other wasted space. Short book, good to use as reference manual also.
