EIGRP Summarization with Default Routing

!
ip route 150.1.4.0 255.255.254.0 155.1.0.4
Note: By default, a route will be installed to null0. R5 manually installs a route to R4
so SW2 will have reachability to R4.

EIGRP Poisoned Floating Summarization

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip summary-address eigrp 100 150.1.4.0 255.255.254.0 255 << route to Null0 is
not installed

EIGRP Metric Weights

metric weights 0 0 0 1 0 0 << only delay is used in the composite metric
calculation

EIGRP Unequal Cost Load Balancing

router eigrp 100

variance 128

Feasibility Condition - If the Advertised Distance of an alternate route is lower than

the Feasible Distance of the Successor, the route is a loop free path and can be
considered for load balancing. In other words if R1s metric to reach SW3 is lower than
R6s metric to reach SW3, R6 can assume that R1 is closer to SW3, and is a loop free
path.

EIGRP Convergence Timers

interface FastEthernet0/0
ip hello-interval eigrp 100 1 << Hellos are sent every 1 second
ip hold-time eigrp 100 3 << holdtime set to 3seconds
!
router eigrp 100
timers active-time 1

NOTE: Unlike OSPF, EIGRP hello intervals do not need to match in order to form
adjacency. Instead, the neighbor sending the hello packet tells the adjacent router
what its hold time is for that particular hello. Routes are considered Stuck In Active if
a query response has not been heard within one minute.

EIGRP Stub Routing (Router does not receive EIGRP query messages)
router eigrp 100
eigrp stub connected << will only advertise its connected routes

EIGRP Stub Routing with Leak Map

R5#ip prefix-list SW2_LOOPBACK seq 5 permit 150.1.8.0/24
!
route-map STUB_LEAK_MAP deny 10
match ip address prefix-list SW2_LOOPBACK
!
route-map STUB_LEAK_MAP permit 20
!
router eigrp 100
eigrp stub connected leak-map STUB_LEAK_MAP

NOTE: R5 is configured to leak all dynamically learned routes except SW2s Loopback

EIGRP Filtering with Passive Interface (EIGRP hello packets are not sent)
router eigrp 100
passive-interface default
no passive-interface Vlan67
no passive-interface FastEthernet0/3

NOTE: The passive-interface command in EIGRP, like in RIPv2, stops the sending of
updates out an interface. Unlike RIPv2 however, passive-interface in EIGRP will stop
the forming of an adjacency.

EIGRP Filtering with Prefix-Lists

router eigrp 100
distribute-list prefix STOP_RIP_SUBNETS out Serial0/1
!
ip prefix-list STOP_RIP_SUBNETS seq 5 deny 30.0.0.0/14 ge 16 le 16

EIGRP Filtering with Standard Access-Lists

!
access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.255 << only permits even 3rd octet
routes

3rd Octet host: 00000000 = 0 (1st bit is fixed 0)

3rd Octet Mask: 1111111X = 254

EIGRP Filtering with Extended Access-Lists (deny routes from specific

sources)

access-list 100 deny ip host 155.1.0.2 host 150.1.7.0 << Deny R7 loopback from
source R2
access-list 100 deny ip host 155.1.0.1 host 150.1.4.0 << Deny R4 loopback from
source R1
access-list 100 deny ip host 155.1.0.3 host 150.1.1.0 << Deny R1 loopback from

EIGRP Default Metric

router eigrp 100

EIGRP Neighbor Logging
router eigrp 100

events.
eigrp log-neighbor-warnings 20 << EIGRP warning logs will be generated
every 20s.

EIGRP Router-ID
router eigrp 100
eigrp router-id 150.1.2.2

NOTE: EIGRP uses the router-id field in external routes as loop prevention. If an
update is received back in with a router-id in this field matching the local router-id,
the update is dropped.

EIGRP Maximum Hops

router eigrp 100
metric maximum-hops 10 << routes with a hop count greater than 10 are
considered invalid
