Chapter 18. Implementing EIGRP for IPv6

When creating Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for IPv6 (EIGRPv6), Cisco made the new EIGRPv6 as much like EIGRP for IPv4 (EIGRPv4) as possible. How close are they? Incredibly close, even closer than the IPv4 and IPv6 versions of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol. With EIGRP, the only noticeable difference is the configuration, which enables EIGRPv6 directly on the interfaces and, of course, the use of IPv6 addresses and prefixes. However, the old and new EIGRP protocols are practically twins when it comes to the concepts, show commands, and troubleshooting steps.

This chapter follows the same sequence as the preceding chapter. The first major section shows the EIGRPv6 configuration ...
