Chapter 8      Configuring EIGRP
Configuring Basic EIGRP
EIGRP must be able to obtain a router ID (for example, a configured loopback address) or you must 
configure the router ID option.
If you configure an instance tag that does not qualify as an AS number, you must configure the AS 
number explicitly or this EIGRP instance will remain in the shutdown state.
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
SUMMARY STEPS
1. config t
2. router eigrp instance-tag
3. autonomous-system as-number
4. interface interface-type slot/port
5. {ip | ipv6} router eigrp instance-tag
6. show {ip | ipv6} eigrp interfaces
7. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command Purpose
Step 1
config t
Example:
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
router eigrp 
instance-tag
Example:
switch(config)# router eigrp Test1
switch(config-router)#
Creates a new EIGRP process with the configured 
instance tag. The instance tag can be any case-sensitive 
alphanumeric string up to 20 characters.
If you configure an instance-tag that does not qualify 
as an AS number, you must use the 
autonomous-system command to configure the AS 
number explicitly or this EIGRP instance will remain 
in the shutdown state.
Step 3
autonomous-system 
as-number
Example:
switch(config-router)# autonomous-system 
33
(Optional) Configures a unique AS number for this 
EIGRP instance. The range is from 1 to 65535.
Step 4
log-adjacency-changes
Example:
switch(config-router)# 
log-adjacency-changes
(Optional). Generates a system message whenever an 
adjacency changes state. This command is enabled by 
default.
Step 5
log-neighbor-warnings [
seconds]
Example:
switch(config-router)# 
log-neighbor-warnings
(Optional) Generates a system message whenever a 
neighbor warning occurs. You can configure the time 
between warning messages, from 1 to 65535, in 
seconds. The default is 10 seconds. This command is 
enabled by default.
