Cisco Router Configuration, Second Edition

Configuring IPX EIGRP

You can use EIGRP as an IPX dynamic routing protocol. As seen in earlier chapters, EIGRP has features found in both distance vector (updates only sent to neighbors) and link state protocols (partial incremental updates and decreased convergence time). To enable EIGRP for IPX, use the major configuration command ipx router eigrp. This command requires an autonomous system number to identify the EIGRP process. Throughout a single IPX administrative domain, the EIGRP autonomous system number must be the same for all routers communicating with IPX EIGRP.

The subcommand network associates an IPX network number with EIGRP, instructing EIGRP to pass routing information about that IPX network number. In the following example, we ...
