Enabling And Configuring Eigrp Stub Routing - Cisco PIX 500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing
hostname(config-router)# passive-interface {default | if-name }
Using the default keyword disables EIGRP routing updates on all interfaces. Specifying an interface
name, as defined by the nameif command, disables EIGRP routing updates on the specified interface.
You can have multiple passive-interface commands in your EIGRP router configuration.
(Optional) To control the sending or receiving of candidate default route information, enter the following
Step 4
command:
hostname(config-router)# no default-information {in | out}
Configuring no default-information in causes the candidate default route bit to be blocked on received
routes. Configuring no default-information out disables the setting of th edefault route bit in advertised
routes.
(Optional) To filter networks sent in EIGRP routing updates, perform the following steps:

(Optional) To filter networks received in EIGRP routing updates, perform the following steps:

Enabling and Configuring EIGRP Stub Routing

You can configure the security appliance as an EIGRP stub router. Stub routing decreases memory and
processing requirements on the security appliance. As a stub router, the security appliance does not need
to maintain a complete EIGRP routing table because it forwards all nonlocal traffic to a distribution
router. Generally, the distribution router need not send anything more than a default route to the stub
router.
Only specified routes are propagated from the stub router to the distribution router. As a stub router, the
security appliance responds to all queries for summaries, connected routes, redistributed static routes,
external routes, and internal routes with the message "inaccessible." When the security appliance is
configured as a stub, it sends a special peer information packet to all neighboring routers to report its
status as a stub router. Any neighbor that receives a packet informing it of the stub status will not query
the stub router for any routes, and a router that has a stub peer will not query that peer. The stub router
depends on the distribution router to send the proper updates to all peers.
To enable and configure and EIGRP stub routing process, perform the following steps:
Create the EIGRP routing process and enter router configuration mode for that process by entering the
Step 1
following command:
hostname(config)# router eigrp as-num
OL-12172-03
Create a standard access list that defines the routes you want to advertise.
Enter the following command to apply the filter. You can specify an interface to apply the filter to
only those updates sent by that interface.
hostname(config-router): distribute-list acl out [interface if_name ]
You can enter multiple distribute-list commands in your EIGRP router configuration.
Create a standard access list that defines the routes you want to filter from received updates.
Enter the following command to apply the filter. You can specify an interface to apply the filter to
only those updates received by that interface.
hostname(config-router): distribute-list acl in [interface if_name ]
You can enter multiple distribute-list commands in your EIGRP router configuration.
