Question

Which of the following are the first two steps in configuring eigrpv6? (Select two.)

a) Configure the hold-interval using ipv6 hold-interval eigrp asn
b) Update the routing table using ipv6 update eigrp asn
c) Establish neighbor relationships using ipv6 eigrp neighbor
d) Configure the autonomous system number (ASN) using ipv6 eigrp asn

Answer 1

The first two steps in configuring EIGRP for IPv6 are to enable EIGRP on the router interface with the command 'ipv6 eigrp asn' and to configure the router with the autonomous system number using 'ipv6 router eigrp asn'.

Step-by-step explanation:

When configuring EIGRP for IPv6 (EIGRPv6), the first two steps in the process are crucial for establishing the basic setup of the routing protocol. These steps are:

1. Enable EIGRP for IPv6 on the router interface by using the command ipv6 eigrp asn, where 'asn' is the autonomous system number that you are configuring for EIGRP. It is important as it uniquely identifies the EIGRP process and allows routers to exchange routes within the same EIGRP domain.
2. Configure the router with the autonomous system number by using the command ipv6 router eigrp asn.

Commands such as ipv6 hold-interval eigrp asn may be used later for tuning the EIGRP configuration, and are not among the first steps. Similarly, EIGRP automatically establishes neighbor relationships without needing to explicitly configure them under normal circumstances.
