GNS3 Lab & Exercise: CCNA – CCNP ROUTE – EIGRP Lab
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on March 18th, 2010 | 33 CommentsSo as expected – we’re going to start seeing some folks rolling out labs that are based on the new CCNP track topologies. This new submission comes from Steve – He turned multiple CCNP ROUTE study exercises into a full EIGRP lab exercise as best as he can while covering almost everything possible in regards to EIGRP configuration. Definitely a FULL EIGRP lab giving some great practice to candidates of CCNA, CCNP and even CCIE
Thanks Steve..
Topology:
- 2 Core routers
- 2 Wan routers (Wan/core a linked through a switch)
- 3 Branch routers, each having a Frame-Relay PVC to each Wan Router.
All routers are 2691 used with IOS c2691-adventerprisek9-mz.124-5a.bin
(7x 192Mo)
EIGRP Topics covered:
- Basic EIGRP config
- Dynamic Neighborship
- Auto-summary issues
- Split-horizon
- Neighborship settings (hello-timer, hold-timer eigrip RID)
- Static neighborship
- EIGRP authentication
- Passive interface
- Interface bandwidth over frame-relay
- EIGRP bandwidth usage
- Stub routers
- Offset-list
Usage of that feature in the lab is not the best solution to solve the
issue i mentioned in the lab
but at least it’s an occasion to configure it, to analyze EIGRP RD/FD
and to see the effect of such settings.
- Variance
- Default-route/network
- EIGRP Summarization
- Route filtering (prefix-list / route-map)
You’ll find 2 archives .. one with basic config (hostname, interface
config etc), and the second with the full config of the lab.
Both contain the PNG file. Explanations can be fond in each lab and on
the PNG file too.

its good but i can note open it couse i don’t have IOS image for 2691 series please show me how to find its helpfully for me right now because soon i will in exam.
thanks

Sorry – Thats not something I can help with – You can though change the .net file to use a different router

Good day, I have installed GNS3, but I want to do a lab in my network OSPF (Router main, office router, Switch Core, Switch distribution and access switches), the problem I have is not as associate IOS Switch to the multilayer, which are in the GNS3.
I would appreciate your advice.

Part 4. on this lab doesn’t really make sense to me. Anyone care to explain?
June 10th, 2010 at 11:50 am
@Drew, You sure this lab? I don’t see part 4
July 4th, 2010 at 3:13 am
I know what Drew means. I am stuck on this part, then again I’m terrible with frame relay and I’m sure that’s what the issue is. I looked at the resolved answers specifically for these interfaces on WAN1 and Branch1/2 and I am not seeing what is required.
Here is the question:
4 – Take a closer look at Branch1/2 routing tables. Both know routes to Branch3 but not for each other … why ? \n ( it’s a normal behavior at this time … why? ). Configure interface S0/0.1 on each Wan router so that Eigrp will advertise Branch1 route to Branch 2 .. and Branch2 toute to Branch 1.
Not sure how much further I can say without spoiling the lab for anyone. I’ll brush on my frame relay skills…
July 4th, 2010 at 3:50 am
Figured it out.
August 5th, 2010 at 7:14 am
Hello,
I’ve got question about configuration of bandwidth percentage use, as was stated we should use up to 32kbps, and in my opinion there should be added command:
ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 15 25
as it is 0.25 * 256/2(PVC) = 32
below is resolved part of Wan1 config without this configuration. Am I right?
!
interface Serial0/0.1 multipoint
bandwidth 256
ip address 193.10.25.1 255.255.255.0
ip authentication mode eigrp 15 md5
ip authentication key-chain eigrp 15 EIGRPLAB
no ip split-horizon eigrp 15
frame-relay interface-dlci 101
frame-relay interface-dlci 102
!

@dziczek, that is what I did, I think it is correct.
In section 6 after removing branch 1/2/3 from the query process it is pointed out that core1 and core2 do not have wan2 anywhere in their eigrp topology tables. I understand the CIR makes wan1 the successor for all branches, however I do not understand why wan2 is not forwarding it’s topology table with the longer path through wan1 to the core routers. I can “sho ip eigrp topo” on wan2 and see the entries in the toplogy table via s0/0.1 & 2, what is the specific reason these paths are not on core1 and core2?
September 8th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Never mind, split horizon kicks in. I understand now.
October 9th, 2010 at 1:14 am
First of all, nice lab!
Can someone break Part 5 section:
Let’s reduce overhead on FrameRelay link between Wan1 and Branch1 … configure static neighborship between those routers
Sort of implies static routes, but could this mean configuring eigrp stub routers?
Thanks
October 9th, 2010 at 1:39 am
Did anyone else notice the hello intervals are different on wan1 s0/0.1 multipoint (60) and its connected router branch1 s0/0.2 point-to-point (5). These are the defaults for these interface types. Didn’t create a problem with their adjacencies, but probably not ideal?
Same for branch2 and wan2.
October 9th, 2010 at 2:09 am
I see now, configure static relationship using neighbor cmd.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:53 am
gercekten guzel olmus. elleirinize saglık. tesekkurler..
November 30th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Hi,
Lab was excellent but the confusion is were the routes has to be filtered and why they hav to be filtered. Directly the configured lab is given. If everything is written to wat to do on which router, that would be more helpful and we will hav a good idea about the lab.
In this lab when i configured eigrp, the eigrp neighbor relationship is formed dynamically, in that case wat is the use of configuring neigbors statically.
January 29th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
I like this lab, but I cannot find the TASKS – anyone
January 30th, 2011 at 9:51 am
@Muti – When you open the lab the Tasks are in text on the right hand side of the topology. Try zooming out. (Or you can see the unformatted text at the end at the .net file if you open it in a text editor)
March 7th, 2011 at 3:05 pm

can someone please assist in this as i’m getting into route exam very soon and i really in need for this labs.
thanks and waiting for your feedback please.

How are you going to learn how to be a network engineer and troubleshoot complex problems if you can’t even figure out how to fix an error with dynamips hypervisor?

December 13th, 2011 at 11:28 am
Guys, should the IP addresses be preconfigured on all the routers or do we have to do it all ourselves as well as the frame relay mapping?
December 13th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
hey
I just followed these steps from another thread and it worked (also on MAC OS X ..)
1. Go to the IOS images and hypervisor
2. Go to the external hypervisor tab
3. Add and external hypervisor with the following settings:
- host :127.0.0.1
- port: 7200
- base udp: 10000
- base console 2000
4. Go to the images tab
5. select the image that you want to use and uncheck the @use the hyoervision manager
6. Select the 127.0.0.1:7200 hypervisor
cheers
