EIGRP

 

 

EIGRP STUB COMMAND

 

Use the eigrp stub command to configure a router as a stub where the router directs all IP traffic to a distribution router.

The eigrp stub command can be modified with several options, and these options can be used in any combination except for the receive-only keyword. The receive-only keyword will restrict the router from sharing any of its routes with any other router in that EIGRP autonomous system, and the receive-only keyword will not permit any other option to be specified because it prevents any type of route from being sent. The four other optional keywords (connected, static, summary, and redistributed) can be used in any combination but cannot be used with the receive-only keyword.

If any of these four keywords is used with the eigrp stub command, only the route types specified by the particular keyword(s) will be sent. Route types specified by the non-used keyword(s) will not be sent.

The connected keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send connected routes. If the connected routes are not covered by a network statement, it may be necessary to redistribute connected routes with the redistribute connected command under the EIGRP process. This option is enabled by default.

The static keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send static routes. Without the configuration of this option, EIGRP will not send any static routes, including internal static routes that normally would be automatically redistributed. It will still be necessary to redistribute static routes with the redistribute static command.

The summary keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send summary routes. Summary routes can be created manually with the summary address command or automatically at a major network border router with the auto-summary command enabled. This option is enabled by default.

The redistributed keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send other routing protocols and autonomous systems. Without the configuration of this option, EIGRP will not advertize redistributed routes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note Multi-access interfaces, such as ATM, Ethernet, Frame Relay, ISDN PRI, and X.25, are supported by the EIGRP Stub Routing feature only when all routers on that interface, except the hub, are configured as stub routers.

Examples
In the following example, the eigrp stub command is used to configure the router as a stub that advertises connected and summary routes:

router eigrp 1
network 10.0.0.0
eigrp stub

 

 

lab scenario
R2(s0/0.203,ip@6.6.23.2/24)<-->(ip@6.6.23.3/24,s0/0.302)R3
R2 Cisco 2611xm IOS 12.3(12)
R3 Cisco 3640 IOS 12.2(27)
R3 is an eigrp stub router that wants to advertise loopback0(ip@6.6.3.3/32) to R2.

By using "eigrp stub connected" command alone,the connected network won't be adversised to neighbors.It only PERMIT the stub router to send connected routes.

To advetise the directly connected network 6.6.3.3,you have to use "redistribute connected"
under the eigrp process.

router eigrp 2006
redistribute connected
network 6.6.23.0 0.0.0.255
default-metric 1500 100 255 1 1500
no auto-summary
eigrp stub connected
_____
another option is to use network statement to send the connected route to neighbors.

 

 

I have done a similar test.

R2 is the distribution router and R13 is the eigrp stub router.you can find the "Stub Peer Advertising ( CONNECTED SUMMARY )" output by using "show ip eigrp nei det" on the distribution router (R2).Please re below:

On the distribution router R2:

R2#sh ip eigrp nei det
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 2006
H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq
(sec) (ms) Cnt Num
0 6.6.132.13 Se0/0.213 10 00:13:18 44 264 0 6

On the stub router R13:
