NX-OS EIGRP Configuration 101

[shamg1974]

Hello all,

I'm getting acquainted with the Nexus 5548UP router and I realized EIGRP is not the same in NX-OS. So, I need to declare a route-map and declare EIGRP within each interface.

Here's my config (basic, I know):

IP access list All-Routes

        10 permit ip any any

route-map All-Routes, permit, sequence 10

  Match clauses:

    ip address (access-lists): All-Routes

router eigrp 90

  no eigrp log-neighbor-changes

  eigrp router-id 10.90.1.1

  redistribute static route-map All-Routes

  redistribute ospf 1 route-map All-Routes

interface Vlan99

  bandwidth 100

  ip address 172.16.1.1/24

  ip router eigrp 90

  ip passive-interface eigrp 90

Does this look okay?

Thanks,

Bobby Grewal

It looks fine.

Thanks Jeye.

One more question -- just to confirm....I can use just the one route-map All-Routes for all of my redistribution, correct? I won't need to create multiple ones?

Thanks again,
Bobby

You can use only one. I will prefer to use different one. Since some of them might different.

Hi jeye,

There is no need to specify a seed metric in this os?

Hi Cadet,

Thanks for bringing this up. Metric is no longer configure in the same string as the redistribution command. You have to configure the metric, either through the  default-metric configuration option or through a route map.

So in the above config, we need to add one more line:

router eigrp 90

default-metric 1000000 0 255 1 1500
