Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing

Configuring EIGRP

 

Command

Purpose

 

Step 5

 

 

 

ip hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number

(Optional) Change the hello time interval for an EIGRP

 

 

seconds

routing process. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The

 

 

 

default is 60 seconds for low-speed NBMA networks and 5

 

 

 

seconds for all other networks.

 

Step 6

 

 

 

ip hold-time eigrp autonomous-system-number

(Optional) Change the hold time interval for an EIGRP

 

 

seconds

routing process. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The

 

 

 

default is 180 seconds for low-speed NBMA networks and

 

 

 

15 seconds for all other networks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution Do not adjust the hold time without consulting

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cisco technical support.

 

Step 7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no ip split-horizon eigrp autonomous-system-number

(Optional) Disable split horizon to allow route information

 

 

 

to be advertised by a router out any interface from which that

 

 

 

information originated.

 

Step 8

 

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

 

Step 9

 

 

 

show ip eigrp interface

Display which interfaces EIGRP is active on and

 

 

 

information about EIGRP relating to those interfaces.

 

Step 10

 

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the no forms of these commands to disable the feature or return the setting to the default value.

Configuring EIGRP Route Authentication

EIGRP route authentication provides MD5 authentication of routing updates from the EIGRP routing protocol to prevent the introduction of unauthorized or false routing messages from unapproved sources.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable authentication:

 

 

Command

Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

 

Step 2

 

 

 

interface interface-id

Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the

 

 

 

Layer 3 interface to configure.

 

Step 3

 

 

 

ip authentication mode eigrp autonomous-systemmd5

Enable MD5 authentication in IP EIGRP packets.

 

Step 4

 

 

 

ip authentication key-chain eigrp autonomous-system

Enable authentication of IP EIGRP packets.

 

 

key-chain

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

 

 

 

exit

Return to global configuration mode.

 

Step 6

 

 

 

key chain name-of-chain

Identify a key chain and enter key-chain configuration

 

 

 

mode. Match the name configured in Step 4.

 

Step 7

 

 

 

key number

In key-chain configuration mode, identify the key

 

 

 

number.

 

Step 8

 

 

 

key-string text

In key-chain key configuration mode, identify the key

 

 

 

string.
