How To Enable Ipv6 Eigrp

Now some of you may wonder why write an article about the activation EIGRPv6 on a Cisco router, if I already know how?

Now, to answer your question, the EIGRP on a router running on an IPv6 network, it is a little different EIGRP on a router running on an IPv4 network. Of a router, running on an IPv6 network, a EIGRP (EIGRPv6) allowed a place in the world as a router, an IPv4. So, in other words, when activating EIGRPv6 on a Cisco router, you do not need the “network” of the order, if the router in the configuration of the router.

Instead, proceed as follows:

1. Router> enable
2. Router # configure terminal
3. Router (config) # ipv6 unicast-routing
4. Router (config) # interface type number
5. Router (config-if) # ipv6 enable
6. Router (config-if) # ipv6 EIGRP that
7. Router (config-if) # no shutdown
8. Router (config-if) # ipv6 router EIGRP number
9. Router (config-router) # router-id (ip-address | ipv6-address)
10. Router (config-router) # no shutdown
11. Router (config-router) # exit
12. Router (config) # exit
13. Router # copy running in early

Explained steps:

Step # 1

1. Router> enable

Puts router privileged EXEC mode.

Step # 2

2. Router # configure terminal

World Summit on the router to activate.

Step # 3

3. Router (config) # ipv6 unicast-routing

Configuring the router to route IPv6 packets

Step # 4

4. Router (config) # interface FastEthernet 0 / 0

Specifies the Fast Ethernet 0 / 0 interface on which EIGRPv6 must be configured.

Step # 5

5. Router (config-if) # ipv6 enable

Allows the processing of IPv6 FastEthernet 0 / 0 interface.

Step # 6

6. Router (config-if) # ipv6 EIGRP 1

Allows EIGRP for IPv6 on the Fast Ethernet 0 / 0 interface.

Step # 7

7. Router (config-if) # no shutdown

Starts the EIGRP for IPv6 protocol (process), without going through the configuration of the interface.

Step # 8

8. Router (config-if) # ipv6 router EIGRP 1

If the router in router configuration and EIGRP for IPv6 routing.

Step # 9

9. Router (config-router) # router-id (ip-address | ipv6-address)

The router is a router article. (Remember each router must be unique Id)

Step # 10

10. Router (config-router) # no shutdown

Set the routing EIGRPv6 “no shutdown” mode for EIGRPv6.

Step # 11

11. Router (config-router) # exit

Provides the router in global configuration

Step # 12

12. Router (config) # exit

Router provides the Privileged EXEC mode.

Step # 13

13. Router # copy running in early

Saves the contents of the running-config in the Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
