Chapter 11 Configuring Networking Protocols
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.
EIGRP Router Mode Commands
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure EIGRP. Configuring the routing
process is required; other steps are optional.
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.
Vari anc e 1 (equal-cost load balancing).

Feature Default Setting
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Router(config)# router eigrp
autonomous-system-number
Enables an EIGRP routing process, and enters router
configuration mode. The autonomous system number
identifies the routes to other EIGRP routers and is used to tag
routing information.
Step 3 Router(config)# network
network-number
Associates networks with an EIGRP routing process. EIGRP
sends updates to the interfaces in the specified networks. If an
interface’s network is not specified, it is not advertised in any
IGRP or EIGRP update.
Step 4 Router(config)# eigrp
log-neighbor-changes
(Optional) Enables logging of EIGRP neighbor changes to
monitor routing system stability.
Step 5 Router(config)# metric weights
tos
k1 k2 k3 k4 k5
(Optional) Adjusts the EIGRP metric. Although the defaults
have been carefully determined to provide excellent
operation in most networks, you can adjust them.
Caution Determining metrics is complex and is not
recommended without guidance from an
experienced network designer.
