Usage Guidelines

Use the ip eigrp shutdown command to shut down the interface for EIGRP and prevent EIGRP adjacency for the interface for maintenance purposes. The network address for the interface does not show up in the EIGRP topology table.

Use the ip passive-interface eigrp command to prevent EIGRP adjacency but keep the network address in the topology table.

This command requires the LAN Base Services license.

Examples

This example shows how to disable EIGRP on an interface:

switch(config)# router eigrp 201
switch(config-router)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# ip eigrp 201 shutdown
switch(config-if)#
