Invalid timer / Route Age in EIGRP

Hi,

Do we have any invalid timer/max age concept associated with routes learned by EIGRP. How does EIGRP maintains this...

Thx,

G

Hi,

EIGRP does not use invalid timer/max age like OSPF. The route gets removed only if it receives an update to that effect from the neighbor who originated the route or if the neighbor itself goes down.

Here's a topology capture of a route and the actual route in the FIB. It only tells you the age of the route in the FIB and that's it.

R2#show ip eigrp top 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

IP-EIGRP (AS 1): Topology entry for 1.1.1.1/32

State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is 409600

Routing Descriptor Blocks:

172.30.1.11 (Ethernet0/0), from 172.30.1.11, Send flag is 0x0

Composite metric is (409600/128256), Route is Internal

Vector metric:

Minimum bandwidth is 10000 Kbit

Total delay is 6000 microseconds

Reliability is 255/255

Load is 1/255

Minimum MTU is 1500

Hop count is 1

R2#show ip route 1.1.1.1

Routing Descriptor Blocks:

* 172.30.1.11, from 172.30.1.11, 01:17:58 ago, via Ethernet0/0

Hope that helps!
