1. NSF = Nonstop Forwarding
2. EIGRP NSF awareness is enabled for IPv4 on switches running the IP services feature set.
To create an EIGRP routing process, you must enable EIGRP and associate networks. EIGRP sends
updates to the interfaces in the specified networks. If you do not specify an interface network, it is not
advertised in any EIGRP update.
If you have routers on your network that are configured for IGRP, and you want to change to EIGRP, you

must designate transition routers that have both IGRP and EIGRP configured. In these cases, perform

You must use the same AS number for routes to be automatically redistributed.
EIGRP Nonstop Forwarding
The switch stack supports two levels of EIGRP nonstop forwarding:

EIGRP NSF Awareness
The IP-services feature set supports EIGRP NSF Awareness for IPv4. When the neighboring router is
NSF-capable, the Layer 3 switch continues to forward packets from the neighboring router during the
interval between the primary Route Processor (RP) in a router failing and the backup RP taking over, or
while the primary RP is manually reloaded for a nondisruptive software upgrade.
This feature cannot be disabled. For more information on this feature, see the "EIGRP Nonstop
Forwarding (NSF) Awareness" section of the Cisco IOS IP Routing Protocols Configuration Guide,
Release 12.4.
EIGRP NSF Capability
The IP-services feature set also supports EIGRP NSF-capable routing for IPv4 for better convergence
and lower traffic loss following a stack master change. When an EIGRP NSF-capable stack master
restarts or a new stack master starts up and NSF restarts, the switch has no neighbors, and the topology
