Metric Formula
Multicast IP 224.0.0.10
K2 * bw K5
256 * (K1 * bw + + K3 * delay) * Hello Timer 5 / 60
256 - load reliability + K4
Hold Timer 15 / 180
bw = 107 / Interface bandwidth in Kbps
delay = Interface delay in usecs / 10 K Defaults Packet Types

Protocol Configuration
K2 0 3 Query

Terminology
! Configure K values
metric weights 0 <k1> <k2> <k3> <k4> <k5> Reported Distance · The metric for a route
advertised by a neighbor
! Disable automatic route summarization
no auto-summary Feasible Distance · The distance advertised by a
neighbor plus the cost to get to that neighbor
! Designate passive interfaces
passive-interface (<interface> | <default>) Stuck In Active (SIA) · The condition when a
route becomes unreachable and not all queries are
! Enable stub routing
eigrp stub [receive-only | connected | static | summary] answered; adjacencies with unresponsive neighbors
are reset
! Statically identify a neighboring router
neighbor <IP address> <interface> Passive Interface · An interface which does not
participate in EIGRP but whose network is
Interface Configuration advertised

! Set maximum bandwidth EIGRP can consume Stub Router · A router with only one neighbor, and
ip bandwidth-percent eigrp <percentage> thus only one path to all networks not directly
connected
! Configure manual summarization of outbound advertisements
ip summary-address eigrp <ASN> <IP address> <mask> [<AD>]
Troubleshooting
! Enable MD5 authentication show ip eigrp interfaces
ip authentication mode eigrp <ASN> md5
ip authentication key-chain eigrp <ASN> <key-chain> show ip eigrp neighbors
! Configure hello and hold timers show ip eigrp topology
ip hello-interval eigrp <ASN> <seconds>
ip hold-time eigrp <ASN> <seconds> show ip eigrp traffic

! Disable split horizon for EIGRP

clear ip eigrp neighbors
no ip split-horizon eigrp <ASN> debug ip eigrp [packet | neighbors]
