Restoring the cisco ios software using the rom monitor environmental variables and tftpdnld command 240. The interface with the eigrp passive interface configuration ignores routes after the exchange of hello packets.
To prevent this from happening, the passive interface command is used. Simply submit your email address below to get started with our interactive software demo of your free trial. The interface with the isis passive interface configuration sends the ip address of that interface in the linkstate protocol data. Simply submit your e mail address below to get started with our interactive software demo of your free trial. Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol eigrp is an evolved version of igrp that addresses the demands of largescale internetworks and the changes in network technology that have been developed since the implementation of igrp routers that already use igrp can use eigrp because the metrics for both protocols are directly translatable, i. As like eigrp, the ospf routing protocol also supports the passive interface where you have the ability to enable ospf on the interface but not form relationships with neighbors on it. Loopbacks are to be made passive, because it is a waste of cpy cycles trying to generate a hello on that stub interface and then drop it in software. This protocol is an evolution of an earlier cisco protocol called igrp, which is now considered obsolete. A passive interface cannot send eigrp hellos, which prevents adjacency relationships with link partners.
Passive interfaces for eigrp 72 pseudo passive eigrp interfaces 72. In eigrp the passiveinterface command stops sending outgoing hello packets, hence the router can not form any neighbor relationship via the passive interface. Most cisco documents state that networks and interfaces are added to the eigrp routing process in nxos using the interface configuration mode. In ospf the passiveinterface has a similar behavior to eigrp. Configures an eigrp process and enters router configuration mode. This prevents routers from becoming eigrp neighbors.
How does the passive interface feature work in eigrp. The passiveinterface command in eigrp prevents directly connected routers from establishing an eigrp. The eigrp for the ipv6 is configured directly on a router interface. When the passive interface command is used with eigrp, inbound and outbound hello packets are not sent. There is a loopback interface on this device which has an ip address of 10.
With eigrp running on a network, the passiveinterface command stops both outgoing and incoming routing updates, since the effect of the command causes the router to stop sending and receiving hello packets over an interface. The passive interface command prevents a ripenabled router from sending broadcast and multicast rip updates out of a specific interface, a set of interfaces, or all routers interfaces the passive interface command has. This means that neighbour relationships adjacencies can be formed with other routers directly. But the network attached to the passive interface is still advertised by other active eigrp interfaces.
Protocolindependent configuration guide, cisco ios xe release 3s default passive interfaces. This is explicitly explained in the ospf passive interface lesson found below, but not in the eigrp passive interface lesson. Cisco eigrp complete understanding handson training.

Step by step eigrp configuration example networkel. This is a sample output of debug eigrp packet hello with the passive.
Sometimes however you might want to advertise a network in eigrp. When you use it for ospf or eigrp, they wont send any hello packets anymore so that it becomes impossible to establish a neighbor adjacency on the passive interface. Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol eigrp is a cisco routing protocol that is designed to address the shortcomings of both distance vector and linkstate routing protocols.

I have 2 routers connected via serial 000 both running eigrp with an asn of 65000, and i want to advertise and summarize the interfaces, being just my loopbacks, and set the loopbacks as passive. The command enables the to stop routing updates over some interfaces while it allows updates to be exchanged normally over other interfaces. Show ip eigrp interface detail what command displays the eigrp autonomous system number, router id, address summarizations, routing networks, and passive interfaces configured on a router. Ie rip, ospf, eigrp, bgp, isis in eigrp i read that passive interfaces dont send any hello, acks etc basically doesnt participate in eigrp at all. All interfaces that have a network that falls within the range of your network command will be advertised in eigrp. Eigrp hello packets will start being sent out of the interface to multicast address 224. The interface with the ospf passive interface configuration appears as a notsostubby network. And the usual solution to a problem involving traceback is to change the version of code that the router. Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol eigrp is a dynamic routing protocol which is used to find the best path between any two layer 3 device to deliver the packet. The output of show ip eigrp topology shows only feasible successors. An example of this is shown in chapter 2, eigrp implementation.
In rip this command will disable sending multicast updates via a specific interface but will allow listening to incoming updates from other rip speaking neighbors. Spanning tree protocol definition 24 enabling spanning tree protocol 24. Eigrp configuration step by step guide this tutorial explains how to configure eigrp routing protocol in cisco routers step by step with practical example in packet tracer. This lab will discuss and demonstrate the configuration and verification of eigrp passive interfaces. This paper is an introduction to the interior gateway routing protocol igrp suite of routing protocols designed and developed by cisco systems. Eigrp supports classless routing and vlsm, route summarization, incremental updates, load balacing and many other useful features. Disable the rip passive interface sun ethernet fabric. In rip, making an interface passive means that it will still accept routes. Eigrp uses rtp for the exchange of eigrp messages between the neighboring eigrp routers. The default passive interface feature simplifies the configuration of distribution devices by allowing all interfaces to be set as passive by default using a single passiveinterface default command, and then by configuring individual interfaces where adjacencies are desired using the no passiveinterface command. Gain an edge over others with this comprehensive, complete understanding, and handson course with ciscos eigrp routing protocol.
What is the enhanced interior gateway routing protocol. The list is built and maintained of which neighbors have acknowledged the messages. Configuring eigrp passive interface free ccna workbook. This chapter expands on the underlying technologies within eigrp, including the path selection process, changes in topology, load balancing, authentication, and troubleshooting common problems. However, this course is a more highlevel course which will also introduce many of the topics related to the cisco ccnp route curriculum. Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol eigrp is an advanced distance vector routing protocol based on the principles of the interior gateway routing protocol igrp. Eigrp configuration is really awesome and not so hard if you compare with ospf or etc. Alternate way for configuring eigrp on nxos netcraftsmen. The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions.
Cisco eigrp named, a better approach ciscozine ciscozine. If you have many interfaces that should be passive then you can also use the passive interface default command. Lets take a look to figure below and configure this topology via eigrp step by step. In case, if the neighbor doesnt acknowledge the message then messages are unicast to the neighboring router 16 times. What is eigrp enhanced interior gateway routing protocol. For example, if an interface connects out to hosts on an lan and not to other eigrpspeaking routers, theres really not a reason to send hello. Answer 3 enter no passive interface for interfaces connected to dsw1 under eigrp process or in interface f01 and f00, something like this note. To prevent eigrp from flooding your interface s we can use the ip bandwidthpercent eigrp command to set this to a lower value. This is a sample output of debug eigrp packet hello with the passive interface command not configured for serial0. After overview of eigrp, it is time to take a look at eigrp configuration. Before the introduction of the default passive interfaces feature, you could configure the routing protocol on all interfaces and manually set the passive interface router configuration command on interfaces where adjacencies were not desired. This behavior stops both outgoing and incoming routing updates.
So in case of bgp, you have a network command which lets you advertise a prefix installed in your rib, and a separate neighbor command which lets you form a bgp peering. If you have many low bandwidth pvcs then its possible that eigrp traffic will completely saturate your interfaces. Both are owned by cisco and operate only on their devices. But in some networks, this solution meant configuring 200 or more passive interfaces. Understanding eigrp part 4 passive interfaces kevin wallace. When you use the eigrp network command, two things will happen. Eigrp evolved from igrp interior gateway routing protocol and routers using either eigrp and igrp can interoperate because the metric criteria used for selecting a route used with one protocol can be translated into the metrics of the other protocol. Configuring ospf passive interface free ccna workbook. This paper should be used as an informationonly document intended as a technology introduction and does not represent a protocol specification or product description. In eigrp the passive interface command stops sending outgoing hello packets, hence the router can not form any neighbor relationship via the passive interface. Eigrp evolved from igrp interior gateway routing protocol and routers using either eigrp and igrp can interoperate because the metric criteria used for selecting a route used with one protocol can be translated into the. What command displays eigrp hellointerval, holdtime, bandwidth percentage, and authentication mode for all eigrp interfaces on a router.

This lab will discuss and demonstrate the configuration and verification of passive ospf interfaces.
The passive interface will not allow the incoming and outgoing routing update over a configured interface. The eigrp protocol is both a distance vector and linkstate routing protocol and sends routing tables according to the rip when there is a change in the network. Before you start, make sure ipv6 routing is been enabled on your router interface. With eigrp running on a network, the passive interface command stops both outgoing and incoming routing updates, since the effect of the command causes the router to stop sending and receiving hello packets over an interface. By default eigrp will use up to 50% of the interface bandwidth. This example allows a neighbor adjacency to form between r1 and its. Eigrp and ospf also support the passive interface command.
