Chapter 39 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.
If you have routers on your network that are configured for IGRP, and you want to change to EIGRP, you
must designate transition routers configured with
both
IGRP and EIGRP. In these cases, perform Steps
1 through 3 in the next section and also see the
“Configuring Split Horizon” section on page 39-25
. You
must use the same autonomous-system number for routes so that they are automatically redistributed.
EIGRP Nonstop Forwarding
The switch stack supports two levels of EIGRP nonstop forwarding:
•
EIGRP NSF Awareness, page 39-42
•
EIGRP NSF Capability, page 39-42
EIGRP NSF Awareness
The IP-services feature set supports EIGRP NSF awareness for IPv4. When the neighboring router is
NSF-capable, the Layer 3 switch continues to forward packets from the neighboring router during the
interval between the primary route processor in a router failure and the backup RP take-over, or while
you manually reload the primary route processor for a nondisruptive software upgrade.
This feature cannot be disabled. For more information on this feature, see the “EIGRP Nonstop
Forwarding (NSF) Awareness” section of the
Cisco IOS IP Routing Protocols Configuration Guide,
Release 12.4
.
EIGRP NSF Capability
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE, the switch supports EIGRP Cisco NSF routing to speed
up convergence and eliminate traffic loss following a stack master change. For details about this NSF
capability, see the “Configuring Nonstop Forwarding” chapter in the
High Availability Configuration
Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S
at:

The IP-services feature set also supports EIGRP NSF-capable routing for IPv4 for better convergence
and lower traffic loss following a stack-master change. When an EIGRP NSF-capable stack master
restarts or a new stack master starts and NSF restarts, the switch has no neighbors, and the topology table
is empty. The switch must bring up the interfaces, re-acquire neighbors, and rebuild the topology and
routing tables without interrupting the traffic directed to the switch stack. EIGRP peer routers maintain
the routes learned from the new stack master and continue to forward traffic through the NSF restart
process.
