how to stop EIGRP process

[amacdos]

Hi there , i did some changes in a distribution list tied up with an EIGRP process , the distribution list contains an access-list , after making the changes , do i need to kill the EIGRP process and start again . If yes , how do I do that .

Thanks in advance ...

Hi,

The default behaviour of EIGRP is that it will automatically reset all affected neighbor relationships as soon as you make the change to the access-list. So you don't need to do anything at all.

Hope that helps - pls do remember to rate posts that help.

Thanks Paresh ,

If you really wanted to kill and restart the EIGPR process, here's a good procedure to do so:

1. Save config first - 'copy running start'

2. Enter the following in: 'no router eigrp '

3. Then, enter in: 'copy start running'

That will have the effect of restarting the EIGRP process...

Hi there , first time is to save the running config to start and later issue the command no router eigrp 100 , and then copy the start config to run config .

Any particular reason . by copying the start config to run config will enable back the EIGRP process ...

Hey Mate,

Well, here's the trick. When you save the config the first time, it has to EIGRP process in it. Therefore, the startup config contains that config.

Then, when you remove the EIGRP process, the running-config no longer has it configured (but the startup config still does).

When you copy the startup config back to the running-config, the only config that is in the startup config that is not in the running-config is everything under 'router eigrp '. Therefore, this config is now added to the running-config and activated.

The advantage of doing something like this is that it saves typing effort (or copy and paste) on your part...
