Chapter 8      Configuring EIGRP
Configuring Virtualization for EIGRP
DETAILED STEPS
The following example shows how to create a VRF and add an interface to the VRF:
switch# config t
switch(config)# vrf context NewVRF
switch(config-vrf)# router eigrp Test1
switch(config-router)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)# ip router eigrp Test1
switch(config-if)# vrf member NewVRF
switch(config-if)# copy running-config startup-config
Command Purpose
Step 1
config t
Example:
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
vrf context 
vrf-name
Example:
switch(config)# vrf context 
RemoteOfficeVRF
switch(config-vrf)#
Creates a new VRF and enters VRF configuration 
mode. The VRN name can be any case-sensitive 
alphanumeric string up to 20 characters.
Step 3
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 4
interface ethernet 
slot/port
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)#
Enters interface configuration mode. Use ? to find the 
slot and port ranges.
Step 5
vrf member 
vrf-name
Example:
switch(config-if)# vrf member 
RemoteOfficeVRF
Adds this interface to a VRF. The VRF name can be 
any case-sensitive alphanumeric string up to 20 
characters.
Step 6
{ip | ipv6} router eigrp 
instance-tag
Example:
switch(config-if)# ip router eigrp Test1
Adds this interface to the EIGRP process. The instance 
tag can be any case-sensitive alphanumeric string up to 
20 characters.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config-if)# copy running-config 
startup-config
(Optional) Saves this configuration change.
