EIGRP

EIGRP load balancing (check)

Security IPS firewall (juniper)
a. Security
i. IEEE 802.1X (wifi)
ii. port security (layer 2, mac sticky)
iii. IP source guard.
b. Quality of service (QoS):
c. IP multicast
d. Power negotiation (PoE)
2. Distribution Layer
a. High Availability,
i. dual paths from the distribution layer to the core.
ii. dual paths from the access layer to the distribution layer.

b. load balancing,
i. Layer 3 equal-cost load sharing allows both uplinks from the
distribution to the core layer to be used (EIGRP)
c. QoS (software optional, check hardware QoS)

The Layer 3 routed design uses Layer 3 routing on the access switches.
All links between switches are configured as Layer 3 routed links.
eliminates the Spanning Tree Protocol from the interswitch links.
Spanning Tree Protocol is still enabled on edge ports to protect against user-induced
loops, but it does not play a role in the network reconvergence in the accessdistribution block.
FHRPs are also eliminated from the design, because the default gateway for the end
hosts now resides on the access switch instead of on the distribution switch.
Network reconvergence behavior is determined solely by the routing protocol being
used.
constrains VLANs to a single access switch. (Like the Layer 2 loop-free design)
does not allow VLANs to be extended across multiple access switches,
requires more sophisticated hardware for the access switches.
