Static Neighbor —EIGRP hello packets are sent as multicast packets. If an EIGRP neighbor is located across a nonbroadcast network, such as a tunnel, you must manually define
that neighbor. When you manually define an EIGRP neighbor, hello packets are sent to that neighbor as unicast messages.
EIGRP ID Choose the Autonomous System (AS) number of the EIGRP routing process.
Neighbor Type the IP address of the neighbor.
Interface Choose the interface through which the neighbor is available.
Summary Address —Define summary addresses in either of these scenarios:
• If you want to create summary addresses that do not occur at a network number boundary
• If you want to use summary addresses on a router with automatic route summarization disabled.
If any more specific routes are in the routing table, EIGRP advertises the summary address out the interface with a metric equal to the minimum of all more specific routes.
