Chapter 30 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring EIGRP
To create an EIGRP routing process, you must enable EIGRP and associate networks. EIGRP sends
updates to the interfaces in the specified networks. If you do not specify an interface network, it is not
advertised in any EIGRP update.
Note
If you have routers on your network that are configured for IGRP, and you want to change to EIGRP, you
must designate transition routers that have both IGRP and EIGRP configured. In these cases, perform
Steps 1 through 3 in the next section and also see the
“Configuring IGRP” section on page 30-23
. You
must use the same AS number for routes to be automatically redistributed.
Configuring Basic EIGRP Parameters
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure EIGRP. Configuring the routing
process is required; other steps are optional:
Distance
Internal distance: 90.
External distance: 170.
EIGRP log-neighbor changes
Disabled. No adjacency changes logged.
IP authentication key-chain
No authentication provided.
IP authentication mode
No authentication provided.
IP bandwidth-percent
50 percent.
IP hello interval
For low-speed nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) networks:
60 seconds; all other networks: 5 seconds.
IP hold-time
For low-speed NBMA networks: 180 seconds; all other networks:
15 seconds.
IP split-horizon
Enabled.
IP summary address
No summary aggregate addresses are predefined.
Metric weights
tos: 0; k1 and k3: 1; k2, k4, and k5: 0
Network
None specified.
Offset-list
Disabled.
Router EIGRP
Disabled.
Set metric
No metric set in the route map.
Traffic-share
Distributed proportionately to the ratios of the metrics.
Variance
1 (equal-cost load balancing).

Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
router eigrp autonomous-system
Enable an EIGRP routing process, and enter router configuration
mode. The AS number identifies the routes to other EIGRP routers
and is used to tag routing information.
