Use the commands in this chapter to configure and monitor IP Enhanced IGRP. For configuration information and examples, refer to the "Configuring IP Enhanced IGRP" chapter of the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide.
To restore the default behavior of automatic summarization of subnet routes into network-level routes, use the auto-summary router configuration command. To disable this function and send subprefix routing information across classful network boundaries, use the no form of this command.
auto-summarySyntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Enabled (the software summarizes subprefixes to the classful network boundary when crossing classful network boundaries).
Command Modes
Router configuration
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Route summarization reduces the amount of routing information in the routing tables.
By default, BGP does not accept subnets redistributed from IGP. To advertise and carry subnet routes in BGP, use an explicit network command or the no auto-summary command. If you disable auto-summarization and have not entered a network command, you will not advertise network routes for networks with subnet routes unless they contain a summary route.
IP Enhanced IGRP summary routes are given an administrative distance value of 5. You cannot configure this value.
Examples
The following example disables automatic summarization for process eigrp 109:
router eigrp 109 no auto-summary
Related Commands
Configures a summary aggregate address for a specified interface.

To set metrics for Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Enhanced IGRP, use the default-metric router configuration command. To remove the metric value and restore the default state, use the no form of this command.
default-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
Syntax Description
bandwidth Minimum bandwidth of the route in kilobits per second. It can be 0 or any positive integer. delay Route delay in tens of microseconds. It can be 0 or any positive number that is a multiple of 39.1 nanoseconds. reliability Likelihood of successful packet transmission expressed as a number between 0 and 255. The value 255 means 100 percent reliability; 0 means no reliability. loading Effective bandwidth of the route expressed as a number from 0 to 255 (255 is 100 percent loading). mtu Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the route in bytes. It can be 0 or any positive integer.
Defaults
Only connected routes and interface static routes can be redistributed without a default metric.
Command Modes
Router configuration
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
A default metric is required to redistribute a protocol into IGRP or Enhanced IGRP, unless you use the redistribute command. Automatic metric translations occur between IGRP and Enhanced IGRP. You do not need default metrics to redistributed IGRP or Enhanced IGRP into itself.
Metric defaults have been carefully set to work for a wide variety of networks. Take great care in changing these values.
Keeping the same metrics is supported only when redistributing from IGRP, Enhanced IGRP, or static routes.
Examples
The following example takes redistributed RIP metrics and translates them into IGRP metrics with values as follows: bandwidth = 1000, delay = 100, reliability = 250, loading = 100, and mtu =1500.
router igrp 109 network 131.108.0.0 redistribute rip default-metric 1000 100 250 100 1500

Command
Description
To allow the use of two administrative distances--internal and external--that could be a better route to a node, use the distance eigrp router configuration command. To reset these values to their defaults, use the no form of this command.
distance eigrp internal-distance external-distance
Syntax Description
internal-distance Administrative distance for Enhanced IGRP internal routes. Internal routes are those that are learned from another entity within the same autonomous system. It can be a value from 1 to 255. external-distance Administrative distance for Enhanced IGRP external routes. External routes are those for which the best path is learned from a neighbor external to the autonomous system. It can be a value from 1 to 255.
Defaults
internal-distance: 90
external-distance: 170
Command Modes

Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
An administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, such as an individual router or a group of routers. Numerically, an administrative distance is an integer between 0 and 255. In general, the higher the value, the lower the trust rating. An administrative distance of 255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored.
Use the distance eigrp command if another protocol is known to be able to provide a better route to a node than was actually learned via external Enhanced IGRP or if some internal routes should really be preferred by Enhanced IGRP.
Table 57 lists the default administrative distances.
| Route Source | Default Distance |
|---|---|
Connected interface | 0 |
Static route | 1 |
Enhanced IGRP summary route | 5 |
External BGP | 20 |
Internal Enhanced IGRP | 90 |
IGRP | 100 |

IS-IS | 115 |
120 | |
EGP | 140 |
EIGRP external route | 170 |
Internal BGP | 200 |
Unknown | 255 |
To display the default administrative distance for a specified routing process, use the show ip protocols EXEC command.
Examples
In the following example, the router eigrp global configuration command sets up Enhanced IGRP routing in autonomous system number 109. The network router configuration commands specify Enhanced IGRP routing on networks 192.31.7.0 and 128.88.0.0. The first distance router configuration command sets the default administrative distance to 255, which instructs the Cisco IOS software to ignore all routing updates from routers for which an explicit distance has not been set. The second distance router configuration command sets the administrative distance for all routers on the Class C network 192.31.7.0 to 90. The third distance router configuration command sets the administrative distance for the router with the address 128.88.1.3 to 120.

Modification
Usage Guidelines
Enhanced IGRP will use up to 50 percent of the bandwidth of a link, as defined by the bandwidth interface configuration command. This command may be used if some other fraction of the bandwidth is desired. Note that values greater than 100 percent may be configured; this may be useful if the bandwidth is set artificially low for other reasons.
Examples
The following example allows Enhanced IGRP to use up to 75 percent (42 kbps) of a 56-kbps serial link in autonomous system 209:
interface serial 0 bandwidth 56 ip bandwidth-percent eigrp 209 75
Related Commands

Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The default of 60 seconds applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command. Note that for the purposes of Enhanced IGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting; otherwise, they are considered not to be NBMA.
Examples
The following example sets the hello interval for Ethernet interface 0 to 10 seconds:
interface ethernet 0 ip hello-interval eigrp 109 10
Related Commands

Defaults
For low-speed, NBMA networks: 180 seconds
For all other networks: 15 seconds
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
On very congested and large networks, the default hold time might not be sufficient time for all routers and access servers to receive hello packets from their neighbors. In this case, you may want to increase the hold time.
We recommend that the hold time be at least three times the hello interval. If a router does not receive a hello packet within the specified hold time, routes through this router are considered unavailable.
Increasing the hold time delays route convergence across the network.
The default of 180 seconds hold time and 60 seconds hello interval apply only to low-speed, nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command.
Examples
The following example sets the hold time for Ethernet interface 0 to 40 seconds:
interface ethernet 0 ip hold-time eigrp 109 40

Defaults
Enabled
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
For networks that include links over X.25 PSNs, you can use the neighbor router configuration command to defeat the split horizon feature. As an alternative, you can explicitly specify the no ip split-horizon eigrp command in your configuration. However, if you do so, you must similarly disable split horizon for all routers and access servers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.
 |
Note In general, it is recommended that you not change the default state of split horizon unless you are certain that your application requires the change in order to properly advertise routes. Remember that if split horizon is disabled on a serial interface and that interface is attached to a packet-switched network, you must disable split horizon for all routers and access servers in any relevant multicast groups on that network. |
Examples
The following example disables split horizon on a serial link connected to an X.25 network:
interface serial 0 encapsulation x25 no ip split-horizon eigrp

Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to alter the default behavior of IGRP routing and metric computation and allow the tuning of the IGRP metric calculation for a particular type of service (ToS).
If k5 equals 0, the composite IGRP or Enhanced IGRP metric is computed according to the following formula:
metric = [k1 * bandwidth + (k2 * bandwidth)/(256 - load) + k3 * delay]
If k5 does not equal zero, an additional operation is done:
metric = metric * [k5 / (reliability + k4)]
Bandwidth is inverse minimum bandwidth of the path in bits per second scaled by a factor of 2.56 ¥ 1012. The range is from a 1200-bps line to 10 terabits per second.
Delay is in units of 10 microseconds. This gives a range of 10 microseconds to 168 seconds. A delay of all ones indicates that the network is unreachable.
The delay parameter is stored in a 32-bit field, in increments of 39.1 nanoseconds. This gives a range of 1 (39.1 nanoseconds) to hexadecimal FFFFFFFF (decimal 4,294,967,040 nanoseconds). A delay of all ones (that is, a delay of hexadecimal FFFFFFFF) indicates that the network is unreachable.
Table 58 lists the default values used for several common media.
| Media Type | Delay | Bandwidth |
|---|---|---|
Satellite | 5120 (2 seconds) | 5120 (500 megabits) |
Ethernet | 25600 (1 ms) | 256000 (10 megabits) |
1.544 Mbps | 512000 (20,000 ms) | 1,657,856 bits |
64 kbps | 512000 (20,000 ms) | 40,000,000 bits |
56 kbps | 512000 (20,000 ms) | 45,714,176 bits |
10 kbps | 512000 (20,000 ms) | 256,000,000 bits |
1 kbps | 512000 (20,000 ms) | 2,560,000,000 bits |
Reliability is given as a fraction of 255. That is, 255 is 100 percent reliability or a perfectly stable link.
Load is given as a fraction of 255. A load of 255 indicates a completely saturated link.

Use the route-map global configuration command, and the match and set route-map configuration commands, to define the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol into another. Each route-map command has a list of match and set commands associated with it. The match commands specify the match criteria--the conditions under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map command. The set commands specify the set actions--the particular redistribution actions to perform if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no route-map command deletes the route map.

Table 60 describes the significant fields shown in the display.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
process 77 | Autonomous system number specified in the router configuration command. |
Address | IP address of the Enhanced IGRP peer. |
Interface | Interface on which the router is receiving hello packets from the peer. |
Holdtime | Length of time, in seconds, that the Cisco IOS software will wait to hear from the peer before declaring it down. If the peer is using the default hold time, this number will be less than 15. If the peer configures a nondefault hold time,the nondefault holdtime will be displayed. |
Uptime | Elapsed time, in hours, minutes, and seconds, since the local router first heard from this neighbor. |
Q Count | Number of Enhanced IGRP packets (Update, Query, and Reply) that the software is waiting to send. |
Seq Num | Sequence number of the last Update, Query, or Reply packet that was received from this neighbor. |
SRTT | Smooth round-trip time. This is the number of milliseconds it takes for an Enhanced IGRP packet to be sent to this neighbor and for the local router to receive an acknowledgment of that packet. |
RTO | Retransmission timeout, in milliseconds. This is the amount of time the software waits before resending a packet from the retransmission queue to a neighbor. |
To display the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) topology table, use the show ip eigrp topology EXEC command.

Table 61 explains the fields in the output.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Codes | State of this topology table entry. Passive and Active refer to the Enhanced IGRP state with respect to this destination; Update, Query, and Reply refer to the type of packet that is being sent. |
P - Passive | No Enhanced IGRP computations are being performed for this destination. |
A - Active | Enhanced IGRP computations are being performed for this destination. |
U - Update | Indicates that an update packet was sent to this destination. |
Q - Query | Indicates that a query packet was sent to this destination. |
R - Reply | Indicates that a reply packet was sent to this destination. |
r - Reply status | Flag that is set when after the software has sent a query and is waiting for a reply. |
160.89.90.0 and so on | Destination IP network number. |
255.255.255.0 | Destination subnet mask. |
successors | Number of successors. This number corresponds to the number of next hops in the IP routing table. |
FD | Feasible distance. This value is used in the feasibility condition check. If the neighbor's reported distance (the metric after the slash) is less than the feasible distance, the feasibility condition is met and that path is a feasible successor. Once the software determines it has a feasible successor, it does not have to send a query for that destination. |
replies | Number of replies that are still outstanding (have not been received) with respect to this destination. This information appears only when the destination is in Active state. |
state | Exact Enhanced IGRP state that this destination is in. It can be the number 0, 1, 2, or 3. This information appears only when the destination is Active. |
via | IP address of the peer who told the software about this destination. The first N of these entries, where N is the number of successors, are the current successors. The remaining entries on the list are feasible successors. |
(46251776/46226176) | The first number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that represents the cost to the destination. The second number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that this peer advertised. |
Ethernet0 | Interface from which this information was learned. |
To display the number of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) packets sent and received, use the show ip eigrp traffic EXEC command.

Updates sent/received | Number of update packets that were sent and received. |
Queries sent/received | Number of query packets that were sent and received. |
Replies sent/received | Number of reply packets that were sent and received. |
Acks sent/received | Number of acknowledgment packets that were sent and received. |
Syntax Description
balanced Distributes traffic proportionately to the ratios of the metrics. min Uses routes that have minimum costs.
Defaults
Traffic is distributed proportionately to the ratios of the metrics.
Command Modes
Router configuration
Command History

Usage Guidelines
This command applies to IGRP and Enhanced IGRP routing protocols only. With the default setting, routes that have higher metrics represent less-preferable routes and get less traffic. Configuring the traffic-share min command causes the Cisco IOS software to only divide traffic among the routes with the best metric. Other routes will remain in the routing table, but will receive no traffic.
Examples
In the following example, only routes of minimum cost will be used:
router igrp 5 traffic-share min
To control load balancing in an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)-based internetwork, use the variance router configuration command. To reset the variance to the default value, use the no form of this command.
variance multiplier
Syntax Description
multiplier Metric value used for load balancing. It can be a value from 1 to 128. The default is 1, which means equal-cost load balancing.
Defaults
1 (equal-cost load balancing)
Command Modes
Router configuration
Command History
10.0 This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
Setting a variance value lets the Cisco IOS software determine the feasibility of a potential route. A route is feasible if the next router in the path is closer to the destination than the current router and if the metric for the entire path is within the variance. Only paths that are feasible can be used for load balancing and included in the routing table.
If the following two conditions are met, the route is deemed feasible and can be added to the routing table:
Examples
The following example sets a variance value of 4:
router igrp 109 variance 4
