Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a new EIGRP process with the
configured instance tag. The instance tag can
be any case-sensitive alphanumeric string up
to 20 characters.
If you configure an instance-tag that does not
qualify as an AS number, you must use the
autonomous-system command to configure
the AS number explicitly or this EIGRP
instance will remain in the shutdown state.
Enters the address-family configuration mode.
This command is optional for IPv4.
