asks DUAL to make routing decisions, but the results are stored in the IP routing table. EIGRP is also
responsible for redistributing routes learned by other IP routing protocols.
EIGRP Configuration Grouping
Cisco IOS XR software groups all EIGRP configuration under router EIGRP configuration mode, including
interface configuration portions associated with EIGRP. To display EIGRP configuration in its entirety, use
the
show running-config router eigrp
command. The command output displays the running configuration
for the configured EIGRP instance, including the interface assignments and interface attributes.
EIGRP Configuration Modes
The following examples show how to enter each of the configuration modes. From a mode, you can enter the
?
command to display the commands available in that mode.
Router Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to enter router configuration mode:
IPv4 Address Family Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to enter IPv4 address family configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configuration
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router eigrp 100
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# address-family ipv4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)#
Interface Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode in IPv4 address family configuration
mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configuration
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router eigrp 100
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# address-family ipv4
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/3/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af-if)#
EIGRP Interfaces
EIGRP interfaces can be configured as either of the following types:
• Active—Advertises connected prefixes and forms adjacencies. This is the default type for interfaces.
• Passive—Advertises connected prefixes but does not form adjacencies. The
passive
command is used
to configure interfaces as passive. Passive interfaces should be used sparingly for important prefixes,
such as loopback addresses, that need to be injected into the EIGRP domain. If many connected prefixes
need to be advertised, then the redistribution of connected routes with the appropriate policy should be
used instead.
