Step 5: Configure passive interfaces for named eigrp.

1. Within each IPv4 and IPv6 AF is the address family interface configuration mode. This mode is used to configure EIGRP specific parameters on an interface, such as the hello timer and summarization. From address family configuration mode, use the af-interface interface-type interface-number command to enter address family interface configuration mode. The following output shows the sequence of commands starting from global configuration mode.

R1(config)# router eigrp DUAL-STACK

R1(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 4

R1(config-router-af)# af-interface gigabitethernet 0/0

R1(config-router-af-interface)#

2. Issue the ? to see the commands available in address family interface configuration mode. Notice various commands to configure interface specific parameters such as the hello interval, hold timer, passive interfaces, and summarization.

R1(config-router-af-interface)# ?

Address Family Interfaces configuration commands:

add-paths Advertise add paths

authentication authentication subcommands

bandwidth-percent Set percentage of bandwidth percentage limit

bfd Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

dampening-change Percent interface metric must change to cause update

dampening-interval Time in seconds to check interface metrics

default Set a command to its defaults

exit-af-interface Exit from Address Family Interface configuration mode

hello-interval Configures hello interval

hold-time Configures hold time

next-hop-self Configures EIGRP next-hop-self

no Negate a command or set its defaults

passive-interface Suppress address updates on an interface

shutdown Disable Address-Family on interface

split-horizon Perform split horizon

summary-address Perform address summarization

R1(config-router-af-interface)#

The interface configuration mode commands are similar for both the IPv4 and IPv6 address families. Commands issued are specific for an interface within the address family, IPv4 or IPv6.

3. Using the passive-interface command, configure G0/0 interface as passive for both the IPv4 and IPv6 EIGRP address families.

R1(config-router-af-interface)# passive-interface

R1(config-router-af-interface)# exit-af-interface

R1(config-router-af)# exit-address-family

R1(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast autonomous-system 6

R1(config-router-af)# af-interface gigabitethernet 0/0

R1(config-router-af-interface)# passive-interface

R1(config-router-af-interface)# exit-af-interface

R1(config-router-af)# exit-address-family

R1(config-router)#

4. Configure R2’s G0/0 interface as passive for both the IPv4 and IPv6 address families.

R2(config)# router eigrp DUAL-STACK

R2(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 4

R2(config-router-af)# af-interface gigabitethernet 0/0

R2(config-router-af-interface)# passive-interface

R2(config-router-af-interface)# exit-af-interface

R2(config-router-af)# exit-address-family

R2(config-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast autonomous-system 6

R2(config-router-af)# af-interface gigabitethernet 0/0

R2(config-router-af-interface)# passive-interface

R2(config-router-af-interface)# exit

R2(config-router-af)# exit

R2(config-router)#
