Configure EIGRP filter rules

Filter rules provide granular control over EIGRP route advertisements and acceptances, allowing you to manage network traffic flow and routing table contents based on specific criteria such as interface or protocol type.

To configure EIGRP filter rules, perform these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

On the EIGRP page, click the Filter Rules tab.

Step 2

Click Add (add icon).

Step 3

In the Add Filter Rules dialog box, select the direction for the rule from the Filter Direction drop-down list:

  • Inbound—The rule filters default route information from incoming EIGRP routing updates.

  • Outbound—The rule filters default route information from outgoing EIGRP routing updates.

Step 4

To select the interface to which the filtering rule applies, click Interface, and then select the interface from the drop-down list.

Note

You cannot apply EIGRP filtering rules on VTI interfaces.

Step 5

To select the protocol to which the filtering rule applies, click Protocol and then select BGP, RIP, Static, Connected, or OSPF from the drop-down list. You can specify the relevant Process ID for BGP and OSPF protocols.

Step 6

Select the access list from the Access List drop-down list. The list defines the networks that are to be received and suppressed in routing updates. To add a new standard access list object, click Add (add icon). For more information, refer to Configure Standard ACL Objects.

Step 7

Click OK and click Save to save the changes.

The EIGRP filter rule is configured and applied to control route filtering based on the specified direction, interface, protocol, and access list criteria.
