How to stop a connected network (gig2/1) from being advertised in eigrp? I was thinking to use passive interface but the connected subnet would still be advertised because of "network 10.0.0.0" under eigrp, am I right? Below is the configuration. Thanks a lot.

!
int gig2/1
no switchport
ip address 10.80.1.12 255.255.252.0
!
router eigrp 1
 network 10.0.0.0
!

You sound like you are looking for distribute-list. Have a look here for the command reference http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2/iproute/command/reference/fiprrp_r/1rfeigrp.html#wp1030208

Here is what you want, i think (not tested):

access-list 1 deny 10.80.1.12
access-list 1 permit any
router eigrp 1
  network 10.0.0.0
  distribute-list 1 out

(Note a similar method can stop external routes from being learnt, using distribute-list number in)

  • This is one of the nice things about EIGRP, you can use a distribute-list with an ACL or a prefix-list to control route announcement.

Create network statements with subnet masks for each interface you do want to advertise and exclude the interface you don't want to advertise.

For example, if you have

int gi 1/1
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
int gi 1/2
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
!
int gi 1/3 
ip address 10.1.3.1 255.255.255.0

if you don't want to advertise 10.1.2.0

router eigrp 1
network 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
network 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0

10.1.2.0 won't be advertised in eigrp

  • that is definitely a solution if the number of networks you are advertising is small. If you are excluding a single small subnet from a large one, one class C from a class A for example, is an acl not better?

  • @AcyclicTau Since the question referred to connected networks, I assumed the number would be relatively small. But if you were excluding a single route from a large update, using a distribute list would be a good idea.
