Customizing EIGRP
Detailed Steps
Redistributing Routes Into EIGRP
You can redistribute routes discovered by RIP and OSPF into the EIGRP routing process. You can also
redistribute static and connected routes into the EIGRP routing process. You do not need to redistribute
connected routes if they fall within the range of a network statement in the EIGRP configuration.
Note For RIP only: Before you begin this procedure, you must create a route-map to further define which
routes from the specified routing protocol are redistributed in to the RIP routing process. See Chapter23,
“Defining Route Maps,” for more information about creating a route map.
To redistribute routes into the EIGRP routing process, perform the following steps:
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step1 router eigrp as-num
Example:
hostname(config)# router eigrp 2
Creates an EIGRP routing process and enters router configuration
mode for this EIGRP process.
The as-num argument is the autonomous system number of the
EIGRP routing process.
Step2 neighbor ip-addr interface if_name
Example:
hostname(config)# router eigrp 2
hostname(config-router)# neighbor 10.0.0.0
interface interface1
Defines the static neighbor.
The ip-addr argument is the IP address of the neighbor.
The if-name argument is the name of the interface, as specified by
the nameif command, through which that neighbor is available.
You can define multiple neighbors for an EIGRP routing process.
Command Purpose
Step1 router eigrp as-num
Example:
hostname(config)# router eigrp 2
Creates an EIGRP routing process and enters router configuration
mode for this EIGRP process.
The as-num argument is the autonomous system number of the
EIGRP routing process.
Step2 default-metric bandwidth delay reliability
loading mtu
Example:
hostname(config)# router eigrp 2
hostname(config-router)# default-metric
bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
(Optional) Specifies the default metrics that should be applied to
routes redistributed into the EIGRP routing process.
If you do not specify a default metric in the EIGRP router
configuration, you must specify the metric values in each
redistribute command. If you specify the EIGRP metrics in the
redistribute command and have the default-metric command in
the EIGRP router configuration, the metrics in the redistribute
command are used.
Step3 Do one of the following to redistribute the selected route type into the EIGRP routing process. You must specify the
EIGRP metric values in the redistribute command if you do not have a default-metric command in the EIGRP
router configuration.
