Explain the interaction between Hello interval and hold timer in EIGRP
The EIGRP hold timer is a countdown timer that is reset each time a hello message is received (one timer for each neighbor, defined by the neighbor's hello messages). When the hold timer reaches 0, the neighbor is assumed to be down.
What command shows the current values of the EIGRP hold timers?
show ip eigrp neighbors
1. What are two methods of including a connected interfaces in EIGRP without allowing neighbor relationships to form on that interface?

2. Which method is preferred, and why?
1. "passive-interface" router sub-command (preferred)
2. "redistribute connected" router sub-command

The passive-interface method is preferred because if you use the redistribute connected command, the connected networks are advertised as external routes (AD of 170).

2. How do you exclude interfaces from this default?
1. passive-interface default
2. no passive-interface [interface]

What command can be used to find out if an EIGRP neighbor is static?

Could two routers running EIGRP with different hello intervals and hold timers become neighbors?
Yes.
Could mismatched IP MTU values prevent an EIGRP neighbor relationship?
No.
Does EIGRP require exact matching subnet masks for neighborships to form?
No, but the routers must think they are on the same subnet (10.1.1.1/24 and 10.1.1.2/30, for example, would not prevent a neighborship from forming).
What command can be used to determine EIGRP k-value weights?
show ip protocols
Can mismatched k-values prevent EIGRP neighborships?
Yes
How is the EIGRP and OSPF router-id determined?
1. Using the "eigrp router-id a.b.c.d" EIGRP subcommand

The last 24 bits (6 hex digits) are taken from the last 24 bits of the IPv6 address to which the message is directed.
Describe the general process used with IPv6 to map IP addresses to MAC addresses.
IPv6 nodes use the Neighbor Discovery Protocol's multicast NS (Neighbor Solicitation) and unicast NA (Neighbor Advertisement) ICMP messages to map IPs to MACs.
How does an IPv6 interface perform Duplicate Address Detection?
The interface sends a NS message to its own solicited node multicast address. If a host replies with an identical unicast IPv6 address, there is a duplicate.
How does an IPv6 interface perform inverse neighbor discovery (determine IP from MAC)?
The sender transmits an INS message to all IPv6 hosts (FF02::1) describing the link layer address, and the specified node responds with its unicast address in an INA message.

NAT-PT (Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation)
When IPv4 redundancy exists on two IPv6 tunnel endpoints, from which source and destination interfaces should IPv4 addresses be borrowed, and why?
Loopback interfaces, so that when a physical interface goes down, the tunnel stays up.
What are the 5 steps for configuring a manual IPv6 tunnel?
1. Plan the IP addresses (create loopback interface if needed)

2. Create the tunnel interface ("interface tunnel <number>").

3. Define the source IPv4 address of the tunnel using the "tunnel source" interface subcommand.

4. Define the destination IPv4 address of the tunnel using the "tunnel destination" interface subcommand.

5. Define the tunnel as manually configured (not GRE) using the "tunnel mode ipv6ip" interface subcommand.
What command makes a tunnel GRE?
"tunnel mode GRE ip"

or

no command at all; tunnels default to GRE
How is the link local IPv6 address calculated for Manual and GRE tunnels?
Manual: FE80::/96 plus 32 bits from the tunnel source IP.

GRE: EUI-64, using the lowest numbered interface's MAC address.
What configuration differences exist when creating an automatic 6to4 tunnel, vs a manual tunnel?
- You do not define a destination IPv4 address.
- "tunnel mode ipv6ip 6to4"
- Create a static route for 2002::/16 out the tunnel interface and enable IPv6 routing.
