Step 4
router-id id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# router-id
172.20.1.1
(Optional) Configures a router-id for an EIGRP process.
Note It is good practice to use the router-id command to
explicitly specify a unique 32-bit numeric value for
the router ID. This action ensures that EIGRP can
function regardless of the interface address
configuration.
Step 5
default-metric bandwidth delay reliability
loading mtu
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)#
default-metric 1000 100 250 100 1500
(Optional) Sets metrics for an EIGRP process.
Step 6
distance internal-distance external-distance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)# distance
80 130
(Optional) Allows the use of two administrative
distances—internal and external—that could be a better
route to a node.
Step 7
interface type instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)#
interface pos 0/1/0/0
Defines the interfaces on which the EIGRP routing protocol
runs.
Step 8
holdtime seconds
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af-if)#
holdtime 30
(Optional) Configures the hold time for an interface.
Note To ensure nonstop forwarding during RP failovers,
as the number of neighbors increase, a higher
holdtime than the default value is recommended.
With 256 neighbors across all VRFs, we
recommend 60 seconds.
