EIGRP Stub Routing

The EIGRP stub routing feature, available in all feature sets, reduces resource utilization by moving
routed traffic closer to the end user.
The IP base feature set contains EIGRP stub routing capability, which only advertises connected or
Note
summary routes from the routing tables to other switches in the network. The switch uses EIGRP stub
routing at the access layer to eliminate the need for other types of routing advertisements. For enhanced
capability and complete EIGRP routing, the switch must be running the IP services feature set. On a
switch running the IP base feature set, if you try to configure multi-VRF-CE and EIGRP stub routing at
the same time, the configuration is not allowed. IPv6 EIGRP stub routing is not supported with the IP
base feature set.
In a network using EIGRP stub routing, the only allowable route for IP traffic to the user is through a
switch that is configured with EIGRP stub routing. The switch sends the routed traffic to interfaces that
are configured as user interfaces or are connected to other devices.
When using EIGRP stub routing, you need to configure the distribution and remote routers to use EIGRP
and to configure only the switch as a stub. Only specified routes are propagated from the switch. The
switch responds to all queries for summaries, connected routes, and routing updates.
Any neighbor that receives a packet informing it of the stub status does not query the stub router for any
routes, and a router that has a stub peer does not query that peer. The stub router depends on the distribution
router to send the proper updates to all peers.

Switch B does not advertise any routes learned from switch A (and the reverse).
