Can one configure several static EIGRP Neighbors on one interface and are there any considerations apart from disabling split-horizon that one should consider?
-
what's the consideration for using static neighbor instead of multicast discovery?– sdaffa23fdsfJun 29, 2013 at 7:33

2in some networks, like nonbroadcast multiaccess networks (NBMA) like frame relay you are not able to discover neighbor, so you use neighbor command in router eigrp config mode– Milan PrpicJun 29, 2013 at 11:21

1in addition to this comment there may also be concrete reasons concering security and specific loop prevention scenarios.– MaxJul 1, 2013 at 8:56

Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you can post and accept your own answer.– Ron Maupin ♦Jan 3, 2021 at 5:52

Yes, that works fine.

you may also want to consider adding 'no ip next-hop-self eigrp X' to the interface pointing to those static neighbors. This will enable "Third Party Next-Hop", which will allow the spoke routers to send traffic directly to each other instead of via hub. Assuming R1<->R2 and R1<->R3 (loop0 - 3.3.3.3)
