EIGRP Route Tagging "Internal Routes"

[kfarrington]

Hello all,

Is there a way of tagging an EIGRP Internal route.

As you see from the topology table, there is no extral data fields in the routing entry for an internal so maybe is a NO NO.

Is there any other way of marking an EIGRP Internal route with any sort of tag?

Internal route

--------------

router1>sh ip eigrp topo 145.221.114.0 255.255.255.0

It is not possible to tag an internal route. What is it that you are trying to achieve?

Thanks,

I have one enormous eigrp AS, which is migrating to a BGP core. In this AS, I have 3 countries, Bangkok, Korea, and India, and I want to tag all their internal routes with a tag of 120, so that I can control routing into the BGP core, but as the routes are all internal, there is no way of marking these routes - or is there?

Many thx,

Ken
