Configuring EIGRP for IP networks |
Despite the complexity of DUAL, configuring EIGRP can be relatively
simple. EIGRP configuration commands vary depending on the protocol
that is to be routed. An example is IP, IPX, or AppleTalk. This
section covers configuration commands for each of these routed
protocols, in addition to special controls for IPX SAP.
Perform the following steps to configure EIGRP for IP:
The autonomous-system-number is the number that identifies the autonomous system. It is used to indicate all routers that belong within the internetwork. This value must match all routers within the internetwork.
The network-number determines which interfaces of the router are participating in EIGRP and which networks are advertised by the router. The network command configures only connected networks. For example, network 3.1.0.0, located on the far left of Figure![]()
The value, kilobits, indicates the intended bandwidth in kilobits per second. For generic serial interfaces, such as PPP or HDLC, set the bandwidth to the line speed. Cisco also recommends adding the following command to all EIGRP configurations:
This command enables the logging of neighbor adjacency changes to monitor the stability of the routing system and to help detect problems.
