EIGRP Support for Route Map Filtering

First Published: May 17, 2004
Last Updated: November 25, 2009

The EIGRP Support for Route Map Filtering feature enables Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to interoperate with other protocols to leverage additional routing functionality by filtering inbound and outbound traffic based on complex route map options. Several extended filtering options are introduced to provide EIGRP-specific match choices.

EIGRP Route Map Support

EIGRP support for route map filtering enables EIGRP to interoperate with other protocols by filtering inbound and outbound traffic based on route map options. Additional EIGRP-specific match choices are available to allow flexibility in fine-tuning EIGRP network operations.

EIGRP supports the route map filtering capability that exists for other routing protocols to filter routes being redistributed into their protocol. For more details about understanding and configuring route maps, see the "Enabling Policy Routing" section of the "Configuring IP Routing Protocol-Independent Features" module of the Cisco IOS XE IP Routing: Protocol-Independent Configuration Guide, Release 2.

Match options allow EIGRP to filter internal and external routes based on source protocols, to match a metric against a range, and to match on an external protocol metric.

EIGRP can be configured to filter traffic using a route map and the redistribute or distribute-list command. Using a route map with the redistribute command allows routes that are redistributed from the routing table to be filtered with a route map before being admitted into an EIGRP topology table. Routes that are dynamically received from, or advertised to, EIGRP peers can be filtered by adding a route map option to the distribute-list command.

A route map may be configured with both the redistribute and the distribute-list commands in the same routing process. When a route map is used with a distribute-list command that is configured for inbound or outbound filtering, route packets that are learned from or advertised to EIGRP peers can be processed with the route map to provide better control of route selection during the route exchange process. Redistribution serves as a mechanism to import routes into the EIGRP topology table from a routing table. A route map configured with the redistribute command adds flexibility to the redistribution capability and results in a more specific redistributed route selection.

The use of route maps to filter traffic is the same for both autonomous-system configurations and named configurations. See the "Configuring EIGRP" module for more information about autonomous system and named configurations.

Demands for EIGRP to interoperate with other protocols and flexibility in fine-tuning network operation necessitate the capability to filter traffic using a route map.

How to Configure EIGRP Support for Route Map Filtering

•Setting EIGRP Tags Using a Route Map for Autonomous System Configurations (required)

•Setting EIGRP Tags Using a Route Map for Named Configurations (optional)

Setting EIGRP Tags Using a Route Map for Autonomous System Configurations

Perform this task to set EIGRP tags for autonomous system configurations using a route map. The EIGRP metrics used for filtering are configured within a route map. The first match clause defines EIGRP routes that contain an external protocol metric between 400 and 600 inclusive; the second match clause defines EIGRP external routes that match a source protocol of BGP and the autonomous system 45000. When the two match clauses are true, a tag value of the destination routing protocol is set to 5. This route map can be used with the distribute-list command, see the "Example: Setting EIGRP Tags Using a Route Map—Autonomous System Configuration Examples" section for an example configuration.
