Terms to Remember
- Feasible Distance (FD) — how far a network is from you, accumulative value
- Advertised Distance (AD) — how far a network is from your neighbor
- Successor — primary route stored in your ROUTING TABLE
- Feasible Successor (FS) — BACKUP route stored in the topology table
- note: Advertised route MUST be less than the Feasible Distance of the successor
- Active Route (BAD) Route DOWN, EIGRP trying to find a backup
- Passive Route (GOOD) EIGRP is running smoothly
- Autonomous System (AS) — administrative control number from 1 – 65,535; example AS#90
- Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
EIGRP Table
- Neighbor Table (NT)
- Topology Table (TT)
- Routing Table (RT)
All three tables are created every time EIGRP routing.
