EIGRP Packet Purpose

Hello Identifies neighbors, exchanges parameters, and is beatific periodically as a

keepalive function

Update Informs neighbors about acquisition information

Query Asks adjoining routers to verify their avenue to a accurate subnet

Reply Beatific by neighbors to acknowledgment to a Query

Goodbye Acclimated by a router to acquaint its neighbors aback the router is alluringly shutting down

Further Reading

Jeff Doyle’s Acquisition TCP/IP, Volume I, Second Edition, (Cisco Press) has several accomplished examples

of configuration, as able-bodied as several examples of the DUAL algorithm and the Alive Concern process.

EIGRP Arrangement Design Solutions, by Ivan Pepelnjak, contains affably complete coverage

of EIGRP. It additionally has great, abundant examples of the Concern process.
