Configuring EIGRP Timers in Cisco
EIGRP is an Advanced Distance Vector and Hybrid Routing Protocol. This is a CISCO proprietary protocol. It does not use broadcast packets to send information to other neighbors but will use multicast or unicast. We support multiple network layer protocols that are supported. EIGRP runs directly at the top of the IP header. EIGRP uses a rich set of metrics namely bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability which we will cover later. These values will be put into a formula and each link will be assigned a metric.
