Information About EIGRP IWAN Simplification

Stub Site ID Configuration

The EIGRP Stub Routing feature improves network stability, reduces resource utilization, and simplifies the stub device configuration on the spoke. EIGRP Stub routing is commonly used over DMVPN networks having multiple sites with single device in each site. Site devices acting as stub result in reducing the query domain thereby enhancing improved performance. On the other hand, branch EIGRP routing is simple for a single router default-gateway site. When a the branch adds a second router or becomes larger and needs routing within the campus the configuration becomes complex.

The EIGRP IWAN Simplification feature implements stub site behavior on devices that are connected to the WAN interfaces on branch routing via the configuration of stub site ID on EIGRP address family. Use the eigrp stub-site command in the address family configuration mode. The stub site ID is applied to all incoming routes on WAN interfaces.


Note


The eigrp stub-site command is mutually exclusive with the eigrp stub command. You cannot execute both commands on a device. This eigrp stub-site command resets the peers on WAN interfaces and initiates relearning of routes from WAN neighbors.


Interfaces connected towards hub or WAN are identified so that routes learnt through neighbors on such interfaces are part of a list of a given route. This is achieved via the stub-site wan-interface command configured in the address family interface configuration mode.


Note


On the identified interfaces, neighbors treat WAN interfaces as stub.


How to Configure EIGRP IWAN Simplification

Configuring the Stub Site ID

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    router eigrp virtual-instance-name

    4.    Enter one of the following:

    • address-family ipv4 [multicast] [unicast] [vrf vrf-name] autonomous-system autonomous-system-number
    • address-family ipv6 [unicast] [vrf vrf-name] autonomous-system autonomous-system-number

    5.    network ip-address [wildcard-mask]

    6.    eigrp stub-site

    7.    af-interface {default | interface-type interface-number}

    8.    stub-site wan-interface

    9.    end

    10.    show ip eigrp vrf vrf-name topology [ip-address [mask]]


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example:
    Device> enable
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    • Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example:
    Device# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 router eigrp virtual-instance-name


    Example:
    Device(config)# router eigrp virtual-name1
     

    Enables an EIGRP routing process and enters router configuration mode.

     
    Step 4Enter one of the following:
    • address-family ipv4 [multicast] [unicast] [vrf vrf-name] autonomous-system autonomous-system-number
    • address-family ipv6 [unicast] [vrf vrf-name] autonomous-system autonomous-system-number


    Example:
    Device(config-router)# address-family ipv4 autonomous-system 45000
    Device(config-router)# address-family ipv6 autonomous-system 45000
     

    Enters address family configuration mode to configure an EIGRP IPv4 or IPv6 routing instance.

     
    Step 5 network ip-address [wildcard-mask]


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af)# network 172.16.0.0
     

    Specifies the network address of the EIGRP distribution device.

     
    Step 6eigrp stub-site


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af)# eigrp stub-site 101:100
     

    Specifies a stub site for the address family in the following formats:

    • ASN:nn

    • IP-address:nn

    • 4BASN:nn

    • aa:nn

     
    Step 7 af-interface {default | interface-type interface-number}


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af)# af-interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
     

    Enters address family interface configuration mode and configures interface-specific EIGRP commands.

     
    Step 8stub-site wan-interface


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af-interface)# stub-site wan-interface
     

    Specifies a stub site for the WAN interfaces.

     
    Step 9end


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af-interface)# end
     

    Exits the address family interface configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

     
    Step 10show ip eigrp vrf vrf-name topology [ip-address [mask]]


    Example:
    Device# show ip eigrp vrf vrf1 topology 109.1.0.6/32
     

    Displays VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) entries in the EIGRP topology table.

     

    The following is a sample output from the show ip eigrp vrf topology command

    Device# show ip eigrp vrf vrf1 topology 109.1.0.6/32
    
    EIGRP-IPv4 Topology Entry for AS(1)/ID(109.1.0.2) VRF(vrf1)
