Usage Guidelines
The address-family (EIGRP) command is used to configure IPv4 or IPv6 address-family sessions under EIGRP. To leave address-family configuration mode without removing the address family configuration, use the exit-address-family command.
EIGRP Autonomous-System Configuration
Use the router eigrp number command to configure an EIGRP autonomous-system (AS) configuration.
In this configuration, EIGRP VPNs can be configured only under IPv4 address-family configuration mode. A virtual routing and forwarding instance (VRF) and route distinguisher must be defined before the address family session can be created.
It is recommended that you configure an autonomous-system number when the address-family is configured, either by entering the address-family command or the autonomous-systemcommand.
EIGRP Named Configuration
Use the router eigrp virtual-name command to configure an EIGRP named configuration.
In this configuration, EIGRP VPNs can be configured in IPv4 and IPv6 named configurations. A virtual routing and forwarding instance (VRF) and a route distinguisher may or may not be used to create the address-family.
If a VRF is not used in creating the address-family, the EIGRP VPN instance assumes the default route distinguisher and will communicate with the default route distinguisher of other routers in the same network.
EIGRP VPNs can be configured under EIGRP named configurations. A virtual routing and forwarding instance (VRF) and route distinguisher must be defined before the address-family session can be created.
A single EIGRP routing process can support multiple VRFs. The number of VRFs that can be configured is limited only by available system resources on the router, which is determined by the number of VRFs, running processes, and available memory. However, only a single VRF can be supported by each VPN, and redistribution between different VRFs is not supported.
MPLS VPN support between PE and CE routers is configured only on PE routers that provide VPN services over the service provider backbone. The customer site does not require any changes to equipment or configurations to support the EIGRP VPN. A metric must be configured for routes to be advertised to the CE router. The metric can be configured using the redistribute (IP) command or configured with the default-metric (EIGRP) command.
Examples
The following example configures an IPv4 address-family session for the VRF named RED in Cisco IOS releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5:
Router(config)# ip vrf RED Router(config-vrf)# rd 1:1 Router(config-vrf)# exit Router(config)# router eigrp 1 Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 vrf RED Router(config-router-af)# autonomous-system 101 Router(config-router-af)# network 172.16.0.0 Router(config-router-af)# default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 Router(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
The following examples configure a single VRF named VRF-RED in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5 and later releases:
Router(config)# ip vrf VRF-RED Router(config-vrf)# rd 1:1 Router(config-vrf)# exit Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 vrf VRF-RED autonomous-system 1 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 Router(config-router-af)# topology base Router(config-router-topology)# default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 Router(config-router-topology)# exit-af-topology Router(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
The following example configures a non-VRF address-family in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, 12.2(33)SRE, 12.2(33)XNE and Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5, and later releases:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 3 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 Router(config-router-af)# topology base Router(config-router-af-topology)# default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 Router(config-router-af- topology)# exit-af-topology Router(config-router-af)# exit-address-family

af-interface
To enter address-family interface configuration mode and to configure interface-specific Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) commands, use the af-interfacecommand in address-family configuration mode. To reset the address-family interface setting to factory values, use the no form of this command.
Usage Guidelines
The af-interface default command is useful for defining user defaults to apply to EIGRP interfaces that belong to an address-family when EIGRP is configured using the named method. For example, authentication mode is disabled by default, and you can enable MD5 authentication for all EIGRP interfaces in the address-family using address-family interface configuration mode and then selectively override the new default setting using different address-family interface configuration commands.
Examples
The following example shows how to enter address-family interface configuration mode and to configure EIGRP interface-specific commands:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af)# af-interface default Router(config-router-af-interface)# shutdown Router(config-router-af-interface)# exit Router(config-router-af)# af-interface Ethernet 0/0 Router (config-router-af-interface)# no shutdown Router (config-router-af-interface)# exit-af-interface Router(config-router-af)#
authentication key-chain (EIGRP)
To specify an authentication key chain for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), use the authentication key-chain (EIGRP) command in address-family interface configuration mode or service-family interface configuration mode. To remove the authentication key-chain, use the no form of this command.
Command Modes

Usage Guidelines
The key-chain command has no effect until the authentication mode md5command is configured.
Only one authentication key chain is applied to EIGRP at one time. That is, if you configure a second authentication key-chain command, the first is overridden.
Examples
The following example configures EIGRP to apply authentication to address-family autonomous system 1 and identifies a key chain named SITE1:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 1 Router(config-router-af)# af-interface ethernet0/0 Router(config-router-af-interface)# authentication key-chain SITE1 Router(config-router-af-interface)# authentication mode md5

Specifying the VRF for an IPv4 address family clears neighbors in that VRF only. If an autonomous-system number is provided along with the VRF, then only the neighbors of that autonomous-system number in the VRF are cleared.
Examples
The following example removes the neighbor whose address is 172.16.8.3:
Router# clear eigrp address-family ipv4 neighbors 172.16.8.3
The following example clears EIGRP neighbors reached through the VRF named VRF1 in autonomous system 101:
Router# clear eigrp address-family ipv4 vrf VRF1 101 neighbors
The following example clears EIGRP neighbors reached through the VRF named VRF1 in autonomous system 101 learned through Ethernet interface 0/0:
Router# clear eigrp address-family ipv4 vrf VRF1 101 neighbors ethernet0/0

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI4. |
Usage Guidelines
The dampening-change command is supported only for Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) router-to-radio links.
When a peer metric changes on an interface that is configured with the dampening-change command, EIGRP multiplies the dampening-change percentage with the old peer metric and compares the result (the threshold) to the difference between the old and new metrics. If the metric difference is greater than the calculated threshold, then the new metric is applied and routes learned from that peer are updated and advertised to other peers. If the metric difference is less than the threshold, the new metric is discarded.
There are exceptions that will result in an immediate update regardless of the dampening-change setting:
- An interface is down.
- A route is down.
- A change in metric which results in the router selecting a new next hop.
Peer metric changes that do not exceed a configured change percentage and that do not result in a routing change do not result in an update being sent to other adjacencies. Peer metric changes are based on the stored last-update of the peer. Peer metric changes that exceed the threshold value are stored and used for future comparisons.
Examples
The following example configures an EIGRP address family to accept a peer metric change if the change is greater than 75 percent of the last updated value:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 5400 Router(config-router-af)# af-interface ethernet0/0 Router(config-router-af-interface)# dampening-change 75
The following example configures an EIGRP service family to accept a peer metric change if the change is greater than 75 percent of the last updated value:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# service-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4533 Router(config-router-sf)# sf-interface serial 0 Router(config-router-sf-interface)# dampening-change 75

Usage Guidelines
The dampening-interval command is supported only in Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) Router-to-Radio links.
When a peer metric changes on an interface that is configured with a dampening interval, EIGRP will apply the metric change only if the time difference since the last metric changed exceeds the specified interval. If the time difference is less than the specified interval, the update is discarded.
There are exceptions that result in an immediate update regardless of the dampening interval settings:

Usage Guidelines
You must use a default metric to redistribute a protocol into EIGRP, unless you use the redistributecommand.
Metric defaults have been carefully set to work for a wide variety of networks. Take great care when changing these values.
Default metrics are supported only when you are redistributing from EIGRP or static routes.
Examples
The following example shows how the redistributed Routing Information Protocol (RIP) metrics are translated into EIGRP metrics with values as follows: bandwidth = 1000, delay = 100, reliability = 250, loading = 100, and MTU = 1500:
Router(config)# router eigrp 109 Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 Router(config-router)# redistribute rip Router(config-router)# default-metric 1000 100 250 100 1500

distance (IPv6 EIGRP)
To allow the use of two administrative distances--internal and external--that could be a better route to a node, use the distancecommand in router configuration mode. To reset these values to their defaults, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
|
internal-distance |
Administrative distance for Enhanced Internal Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for IPv6 internal routes. Internal routes are those that are learned from another entity within the same autonomous system. The distance can be a value from 1 to 255. |
|
external-distance |
Administrative distance for EIGRP for IPv6 external routes. External routes are those for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. The distance can be a value from 1 to 255. |
Usage Guidelines
An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, such as an individual router or a group of routers. Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer from 0 to 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.
Use the distancecommand if another protocol is known to be able to provide a better route to a node than was actually learned via external EIGRP for IPv6, or if some internal routes should be preferred by EIGRP for IPv6.

To display the default administrative distance for a specified routing process, use the show ip protocols command.
Examples
In the following example, the router eigrp global configuration command sets up EIGRP routing in autonomous system number 109. The network router configuration commands specify EIGRP routing on networks 192.168.7.0 and 172.16.0.0. The distance eigrp command sets the administrative distance of all EIGRP internal routes to 80 and all EIGRP external routes to 130.
Router(config)# router eigrp 109 Router(config-router)# network 192.168.7.0 Router(config-router)# network 172.16.0.0 Router(config-router)# distance eigrp 80 130
In the following example, the distance eigrp command sets the administrative distance of all EIGRP address-family internal routes to 80 and all external routes to 130:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4473 Router(config-router-af)# topology base Router(config-router-af-topology)# distance eigrp 80 130

|
15.0(1)M |
This command was replaced. This command was replaced by the dampening-changecommand and the dampening-interval command. |
Usage Guidelines
This command advertises routing changes for EIGRP traffic only.
The REPLY sent to any QUERY will always contain the latest metric information. Exceptions which will result in immediate UPDATE being sent:
- A down interface
- A down route
- Any change in metric which results in the router selecting a new next hop
Change-based Dampening
The default value for the change tolerance will be 50% of the computed metric. It can be configured in the range from 0 to 100 percent. If the metric change of the interface is not greater (or less) than the current metric plus or minus the specified amount, the change will not result in a routing change, and no update will be sent to other adjacencies.
Interval-based Dampening
The default value for the update intervals is 30 seconds. It can be configured in the range from 0 to 64535 seconds. If this option is specified, changes in routes learned though this interface, or in the interface metrics, will not be advertised to adjacencies until the specified interval is met. When the timer expires, any changes detected in any routes learned through the interface, or the metric reported by the interfaces will be sent out.
Change-based Dampening Example
The following example sets the threshold to 50 percent tolerance routing updates involving VMI interfaces and peers:
interface vmi1 ip address 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 ipv6 address 2001:0DB1:2::1/96 ipv6 enable eigrp 1 interface dampening-change 50 physical-interface Ethernet0/0
Interval-based Dampening Example
The following example sets the interval to 30 seconds at which updates occur for topology changes that affect VMI interfaces and peers:
interface vmi1 ip address 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.0 ipv6 address 2001:0DB1:2::1/96 ipv6 enable eigrp 1 interface dampening-interval 30 physical-interface Ethernet0/0

Usage Guidelines
The router ID is used to identify the originating router for external routes. If an external route is received with the local router ID, the route is discarded. The router ID can be configured with any IP address with two exceptions; 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not legal values and cannot be entered. A unique value should be configured for each router.
In EIGRP named IPv4, named IPv6, and Cisco Service Advertisement Framework (SAF) configurations, the router-id is also included for identifying internal routes and loop detection.
Examples
The following example configures 172.16.1.3 as a fixed router ID:
Router(config)# router eigrp 209 Router(config-router)# eigrp router-id 172.16.1.3

Usage Guidelines
Use the eigrp stub command to configure a router as a stub; this will allow the router to direct all IP traffic to a distribution router, unless stub leaking is configured on the router.
The receive-only keyword will restrict the router from sharing any of its routes with any other router in the EIGRP autonomous system, and the receive-only keyword will not permit any other option to be specified because it prevents any type of route from being advertised. The connected, static, summary, leak-map, and redistributed keywords can be used in any combination but cannot be used with the receive-only keyword. If any of these five keywords is used with the eigrp stub command, only route types specified by the particular keywords will be advertised. Route types specified by the remaining keywords will not be advertised.
The connected keyword permits the EIGRP stub routing feature to send connected routes. If the connected routes are not covered by a network statement, they may be redistributed using the redistribute connected command under the EIGRP process. This option is enabled by default.
The static keyword permits the EIGRP stub routing feature to advertise static routes. If this option is not configured, EIGRP will not send any static routes, including internal static routes that normally would be automatically redistributed. It will still be necessary to redistribute static routes with the redistribute static command.
The summary keyword permits the EIGRP stub routing feature to advertise summary routes. Summary routes can be created manually using the summary-address command or automatically at a major network border router using the auto-summary command. This option is enabled by default.
The redistributed keyword permits the EIGRP stub routing feature to advertise other routing protocols and autonomous systems. If this option is not configured, EIGRP will not advertise redistributed routes.
The leak-map keyword permits the EIGRP stub routing feature to reference a leak map that identifies routes that are allowed to be advertised on an EIGRP stub router that would normally have been suppressed.
Examples
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is used to configure the router as a stub that advertises connected and summary routes:
Router(config)# router eigrp 1 Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router)# eigrp stub
In the following named configuration example, the eigrp stub command is used to configure the router as a stub that advertises routes learned from a directly connected client:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router-af)# eigrp stub connected
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the connected and static keywords to configure the router as a stub that advertises connected and static routes (sending summary routes will not be permitted):
Router(config)# router eigrp 1 Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router)# eigrp stub connected static
In the following named configuration example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the connected and static keywords to configure the router as a stub that advertises connected and static routes (sending summary routes will not be permitted):
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router-af)# eigrp stub connected static
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the receive-only keyword to configure the router as a receive-only neighbor (connected, summary, and static routes will not be sent):
Router(config)# router eigrp 1 Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 eigrp Router(config-router)# eigrp stub receive-only
In the following named configuration example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the receive-only keyword to configure the router as a receive-only neighbor (connected, summary, and static routes will not be sent):
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router-af)# eigrp stub receive-only
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the redistributed keyword to configure the router to advertise other protocols and autonomous systems:
Router(config)# router eigrp 1 Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 eigrp Router(config-router)# eigrp stub redistributed
In the following named configuration example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the redistributed keyword to configure the router to advertise other protocols and autonomous systems:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router-af)# eigrp stub redistributed
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the leak-map name keyword-argument pair to configure the router to reference a leak map that identifies routes that would normally have been suppressed:
Router(config)# router eigrp Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 Router(config-router)# eigrp stub leak-map map1
In the following named configuration example, the eigrp stub command is issued with the leak-map name keyword-argument pair to configure the router to reference a leak map that identifies routes that would normally have been suppressed:

hello-interval
To configure the hello interval for the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) address-family or service-family configurations, use the hello-interval command in address-family interface configuration mode or service-family interface configuration mode. To configure the default hello interval, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
|
seconds |
Hello interval in seconds. The range is 1 to 65535. The default is 60 for low-speed nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) networks, and 5 for all other networks. |
Command Default
The EIGRP hello interval is 60 seconds for low-speed NBMA networks and 5 seconds for all other networks.

Usage Guidelines
The 60-second default applies only to low-speed, NBMA media. Low speed is considered a rate of T1 or slower, as specified by the bandwidth command in interface configuration mode.
For the purposes of EIGRP, Frame Relay and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) networks are considered to be NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting. Otherwise, Frame Relay and SMDS networks are not considered to be NBMA.
Examples
The following example configures a 10-second hello interval for address-family Ethernet interface 0/0:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af-interface)# af-interface ethernet0/0 Router(config-router-af-interface)# hello-interval 10
The following example sets a 10 second hello-interval for service-family Ethernet interface 0/0:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# service-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4533 Router(config-router-sf)# sf-interface Ethernet 0/0 Router(config-router-sf-interface)# hello-interval 10

Usage Guidelines
On very congested and large networks, the default hold time may not be sufficient for all routers and access servers to receive hello packets from neighbors. In this case, increase the hold time duration. The hold time should be at least three times the hello interval. If a router does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, services through this router are considered unavailable. Increasing the hold time will delay route convergence across the network.
Examples
The following example sets a 50-second hold time for address-family Ethernet interface 0/0:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4453 Router(config-router-af-interface)# af-interface ethernet0/0 Router(config-router-af-interface)# hold-time 50
The following example sets a 40-second hold time for service-family Ethernet interface 0/0:
Router(config)# router eigrp virtual-name Router(config-router)# service-family ipv4 autonomous-system 4533 Router(config-router-sf)# sf-interface Ethernet 0/0 Router(config-router-sf-interface)# hold-time 40
