Configuring Route Summarization for an EIGRP Process
This task configures route summarization for an EIGRP process.
You can configure a summary aggregate address for a specified interface. If any more specific routes are
in the routing table, EIGRP advertises the summary address from the interface with a metric equal to the
minimum of all more specific routes.
Restrictions
You should not use the summary-address summarization command to generate the default route
(0.0.0.0) from an interface. This command creates an EIGRP summary default route to the null 0
interface with an administrative distance of 5. The low administrative distance of this default route can
cause this route to displace default routes learned from other neighbors from the routing table. If the

Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af-if)#
holdtime 30
(Optional) Configures the hold time for an interface.
Note To ensure nonstop forwarding during RP failovers,
as the number of neighbors increase, a higher
holdtime than the default value is recommended.
With 256 neighbors across all VRFs, we
recommend 60 seconds.

Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-eigrp-af-if)#

(Optional) Configures the percentage of bandwidth that
may be used by EIGRP on an interface.

Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
– Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
– Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
– Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
