Configure EIGRP Advanced Settings

You can configure EIGRP advanced settings such as the router ID, stub routing, and adjacency changes.

Procedure

1	On the EIGRP page, click the Advanced tab.
2	Under Default Route Information, you can specify the sending and receiving of default route information in EIGRP updates. (Appears for non-cluster and cluster in spanned etherchannel mode)Router ID (IP Address)—Enter the ID used to identify the originating router for external routes. If an external route is received with the local router ID, the route is discarded. To prevent this issue, specify a global address for the router ID. An unique value should be configured for each EIGRP router. (Appears only for a cluster in individual interface mode)IPv4 Address Pool—Select the relevant cluster pool value (IPv4 address pool object). To create the address pool, see Address Pools. Accept Default Route Info—Check the check box to configure EIGRP to accept exterior default routing information. Access List—From the Access List drop-down, specify a standard access list that defines the networks that are allowed and the networks that are not when receiving default route information. To add a new standard access list object, click Add () and see Configure Standard ACL Objects for the detailed procedure. Send Default Route Info—Check the check box to configure EIGRP to advertise exterior default routing information. Access List—From the Access List drop-down, specify a standard access list that defines the networks that are allowed and the networks that are not when sending default route information. To add a new standard access list object, click Add () and see Configure Standard ACL Objects for the detailed procedure.
3	Under Administrative Distance, specify: Internal Distance—Administrative distance for EIGRP internal routes. Internal routes are those that are learned from another entity within the same autonomous system. Valid values range from 1 to 255. The default value is 90. External Distance—Administrative distance for EIGRP external routes. External routes are those for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. Valid values range from 1 to 255. The default value is 170.
4	Under Adjacency Changes, specify: Log Neighbor Changes—Click the check box to enable the logging of EIGRP neighbor adjacency changes. Log Neighbor Warnings—Click the check box to enable the logging of EIGRP neighbor warning messages. (Optional) Enter the time interval (in seconds) between repeated neighbor warning messages. Valid values range from 1 to 65535. Repeated warnings are not logged if they occur during this interval.
5	Under Stub, to enable the device as an EIGRP stub routing process, click one or more of the following EIGRP stub routing processes check boxes: Receive only—Configures the EIGRP stub routing process to receive route information from the neighbor routers but not send route information to the neighbors. If this option is selected, you cannot select any of the other stub routing options. Connected—Advertises connected routes. Redistributed—Advertises redistributed routes. Static—Advertises static routes. Summary—Advertises summary routes.
6	Under Default Metrics, define the default metrics for routes redistributed to the EIGRP routing process: Bandwidth—the minimum bandwidth of the route in kilobits per second. Valid values range from 1 to 4294967295. Delay Time—the route delay in tens of microseconds. Valid values range from 0 to 4294967295. Reliability—the likelihood of successful packet transmission expressed as a number 0 through 255. The value 255 indicates 100 percent reliability; 0 means no reliability. Loading—the effective bandwidth of the route. Valid values range from 1 to 255; 255 indicates 100 percent loading. MTU—the smallest allowed value for the maximum transmission unit of the path. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.
