Before You Begin
Although you can configure EIGRP before you configure an IP address, no EIGRP routing occurs until at
least one IP address is configured.

DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
configure
Step 1
Specifies the autonomous system number of the routing
process to configure an EIGRP routing process.
router eigrp as-number
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# router eigrp
100
Step 2
Enters an address family configuration mode.address-family { ipv4 }
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)#
address-family ipv4
Step 3
(Optional) Configures a router-id for an EIGRP process.
router-id id
Step 4
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# router-id
172.20.1.1
It is good practice to use the router-id command to
explicitly specify a unique 32-bit numeric value for
the router ID. This action ensures that EIGRP can
function regardless of the interface address
configuration.
Note
(Optional) Sets metrics for an EIGRP process.

Step 5
Example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)#
