Configure EIGRP settings

Use this procedure when you need to set up EIGRP routing protocol parameters on your device. EIGRP configuration includes enabling automatic network summarization, selecting networks that participate in the routing process, and configuring passive interfaces that do not exchange routing updates.

Procedure

Step 1

On the EIGRP page, click the Setup tab.

Step 2

Check the Auto Summary check box to enable EIGRP to summarize network number boundaries.

Note

Enabling Auto Summary can cause routing problems if you have noncontiguous networks.

Step 3

In the Available Networks/Hosts box, click the networks or hosts that should participate in the EIGRP routing process, and then click Add. To add a new network object, click Add (add icon). For detailed instructions on adding networks, refer to Network.

Step 4

To configure passive interfaces, check the Passive Interface check box. In EIGRP, a passive interface does not send or receive routing updates.

  1. To specify selective interfaces as passive, click the Selected Interface radio button. In the Available Interfaces box, select the interfaces, and click Add.

  2. To specify all interfaces as passive, click the All Interfaces radio button.

Step 5

Click OK and click Save to save the changes.

The EIGRP settings are configured and saved. The routing protocol will operate according to the specified configuration, including automatic summarization behavior, network participation, and passive interface settings.
