I've just completed the basic EIGRP config for task 5.1 in Workbook 1. All my devices have received their EIGRP updates and have converged. Auto-summary has been left on.
In the solutions there is the following statement,
"The first problem can be seen from the routing table output of any device in the network. Each device has a Loopback0 interface in the major network 150.1.0.0/16, while the transit network between the devices is 155.1.0.0/16. When auto-summary is on in EIGRP networks are summarized as they pass through the major network boundary. This is unlike RIP, which automatically summarizes networks anytime there is a different major network or different subnet masks."
I can't quite grasp the difference in auto-summarization between EIGRP and RIP from this statement as my understanding was that, like EIGRP, RIP also summarized networks when passing through major network boundaries.
Can any explain the differences further?
