DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
configure
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
router eigrp 
as-number
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router eigrp 100
Configures an EIGRP routing process.
Step 3
address-family {ipv4 | ipv6} 
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# 
address-family ipv4
Enters an address family configuration mode.
Step 4
router-id 
id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp)# router-id 
172.20.1.1
(Optional) Configures a router-id for an EIGRP process.
Note It is good practice to use the router-id command to 
explicitly specify a unique 32-bit numeric value for 
the router ID. This action ensures that EIGRP can 
function regardless of the interface address 
configuration.
Step 5
default-metric 
bandwidth
delay
reliability
loading
mtu
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)# 
default-metric 1000 100 250 100 1500 
(Optional) Sets metrics for an EIGRP process.
Step 6
distance 
internal-distance external-distance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)# distance 
80 130
(Optional) Allows the use of two administrative 
distances—internal and external—that could be a better 
route to a node.
Step 7
interface 
type
instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af)# 
interface pos 0/1/0/0
Defines the interfaces on which the EIGRP routing protocol 
runs.
