NAME #

eigrpctl - control the EIGRP routing daemon

SYNOPSIS #

eigrpctl [-s socket] command [argument …]

DESCRIPTION #

The eigrpctl program controls the eigrpd(8) daemon. Commands may be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example, s i for show interfaces.

The following options are available:

-s socket

Use socket instead of the default /var/run/eigrpd.sock to communicate with eigrpd(8).

The following commands are available:

clear neighbors [family family] [as as] [address]

Delete entries from the neighbor table. family, as, and address can be used to limit the scope of the command to the given address family, autonomous system and/or address. If no argument is given, all neighbors from all EIGRP instances will be deleted.

fib couple

Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table.

fib decouple

Remove the learned routes from the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table. Decoupling the FIB from an EIGRP router may create routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete EIGRP cloud. Only routers with just one link to the EIGRP cloud can safely decouple the FIB.

log brief

Disable verbose debug logging.

log verbose

Enable verbose debug logging.

reload

Reload the configuration file.

show fib [family family] [filter]

Show the Forwarding Information Base. family, if given, limit the output to the given address family. filter can be any of the following:

connected

Show only connected routes.

interface [interface]

Show only interfaces or the specified interface.

eigrp

Show only EIGRP routes.

static

Show only static routes.

connected, eigrp and static may be specified together.

show interfaces [family family] [as as] [interface]

Show details for all EIGRP enabled interfaces or the specified interface. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.

show neighbor [family family] [as as]

Show neighbors. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.

show topology [family family] [as as] [prefix | filter]

Show the topology table. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system. prefix can be specified to show the entries matching a destination prefix. filter can be any of the following:

active

Show only active entries.

all-links

Show all entries.

show traffic [family family] [as as]

Show traffic statistics. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.
