Configure EIGRP Filter Rules Settings

You can configure route filtering rules for the EIGRP routing process. Filter rules allow you to control the routes that are accepted or advertised by the EIGRP routing process.

Procedure

Step 1

On the EIGRP page, click the Filter Rules tab.

Step 2

Click Add (add icon).

Step 3

In the Add Filter Rules dialog box, from the Filter Direction drop-down, choose the direction for the rule:

  • Inbound—The rule filters default route information from incoming EIGRP routing updates.

  • Outbound—The rule filters default route information from outgoing EIGRP routing updates.

Step 4

To select the interface to which the filtering rule applies, click the Interface radio button, and from the drop-down, select the interface.

Step 5

To select the protocol to which the filtering rule applies, click the Protocol radio button and from the drop-down, select the protocol—BGP, RIP, Static, Connected, or OSPF. For BGP and OSPF protocols, you can specify the relevant Process ID.

Step 6

From the Access List drop-down, choose the access list. The list defines the networks that are to be received and that are to be suppressed in routing updates. To add a new standard access list object, click Add (add icon) and see Configure Standard ACL Objects for the detailed procedure.

Step 7

Click Ok and Save the settings.
