  • Always set the bandwidth for serials, to adjust metric: change the DELAY in 10ms, so that it will not to affect other protocols [OSPF].
  • Send summary address to RIP/IGRP with the correct network mask.
  • EIGRP Summary address is done at interface that advertises out in EIGRP instead of at the AS in OSPF.
  • Cannot do summary-routes on discontiguous networks ==> blackhole.
  • AN INTERFACE MUST EXIST THAT COVERS THE SUMMARY ADDRESS.
  • EIGRP will not auto-summarize external routes unless there is a component of the same major network that is a route that is interneal to EIGRP.
  • External EIGRP routes have an administrative distance of 170, and should use the default metric.
  • The passive-interface command prevents the exchange of EIGRP routes on the interface.
  • EIGRP will still include the address of the interface in routing updates sent out to the other non-passive interfaces.
  • EIGRP summarizes the route only when advertising out an interface that is in a different class.
