This will show you the basics of the cisco IOS command line interface and the different modes.

After several lines of information on the screen you should eventually see:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n

On some routers and switchesyou may see the following message.
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes/no]: y Router> or Switch>

This is a basic rundown of the EIGRP routing protocol Concepts.

EIGRP is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol that relies on features commonly associated with link-state protocols.
Administrative Distance
• Internal 90; Summary 5; External 170 Features of EIGRP
• Classless Routing Protocol (VLSM, CIDR)
• Faster convergence times
• Multiprotocol support:
• Rapid Convergence and Better handling of routing loops – (DUAL)
• Efficient Use of Bandwidth
– Partial, bounded updates: Incremental updates only to the routers that need them.
– Minimal bandwidth consumption: no more that 50% of link’s bandwidth EIGRP packets.
• PDM (Protocol Dependent Module)
• Unequal-cost load balancing
Metrics: Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load
