EIGRP Hello Packet Definition: EIGRP Hello Packet are small data packets sent at regular intervals by Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) routers to discover and maintain neighbor relationships.
EIGRP Hello Packet is a type of message exchanged between routers running the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. Hello packets contain information about the sending router, such as its EIGRP AS number, the subnet mask of its interfaces, and other parameters required for neighbor discovery and maintenance. These packets are vital for routers to form and sustain neighbor relationships in an EIGRP network.
