EIGRP Configuration Module

This configuration module configures the EIGRP routing process on Cisco IOSv, Cisco IOS-XE1, and Cisco Nexus-OS.

Supported features:

  • IPv4 and IPv6
  • EIGRP AS number
  • Unnumbered point-to-point interfaces (Cisco IOS-XE only)
  • Passive interfaces

Global Parameters

  • eigrp.as sets the network-wide EIGRP AS number (default: 1)

Node Parameters

  • eigrp.as -- per-node EIGRP AS number (default: 1 -- inherited from global defaults)
The EIGRP configuration module is automatically removed from a node that does not run EIGRP on any non-loopback interface. In that case, _netlab_ generates a warning that can be turned off by setting **‌defaults.eigrp.warnings.inactive** to **‌False**.

Link Parameters

  • eigrp.passive: True -- Make this link/interface a passive interface
  • eigrp: False -- Do not run EIGRP on this link/interface (see also )

Using Link Roles

Link roles are used together with link types to decide whether to include an interface in an EIGRP process and whether to make an interface passive:

  • External links (links with role: external, see also ) are not included in the EIGRP process.
  • Interfaces connected to links with role: passive, or links with a single router or routing daemon, are automatically marked as passive.
  • Management interfaces are in the management VRF and are never added to the EIGRP processes.

Example

We want to create a three-router EIGRP network testing IOS, IOS-XE, and Nexus OS EIGRP implementation.

All devices run EIGRP with AS 2:

module: [ eigrp ]
eigrp.as: 2

In our lab, we'll use IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. IPv6 addresses will be configured on loopback and LAN interfaces, but not on P2P interfaces.

addressing:
  loopback:
    ipv4: 172.18.1.0/24
    ipv6: 2001:db8:0::/48
  lan:
    ipv4: 172.19.0.0/16
    ipv6: 2001:db8:1::/48

The lab has three nodes, each of which is running a different operating system:

nodes:
  r1: { device: iosv }
  r2: { device: csr }
  s1: { device: nxos }

All three devices share a LAN interface with the bandwidth set to 100 Mbps. Each device is also connected to one or two P2P links and a stub interface.

links:
- r1:
  r2:
  s1:
  bandwidth: 100000
- r1-r2
- r2-s1
- r1
- r2
- s1
