show ip eigrp neighbors
Lists EIGRP neighbors with interface, hold time, uptime, SRTT, RTO and queue count. A Q Cnt that stays above 0 means a neighbor is not acknowledging.
show ip eigrp neighbors detail
Adds per-neighbor detail such as retransmissions, prefixes received, and whether the peer is a stub and which routes it advertises.
Example
Output
show ip eigrp neighbors detail | include Stub|Suppressing
show ip eigrp topology
Shows successors and feasible successors per prefix, with the FD and each path's (metric/reported distance).
show ip eigrp topology all-links
Shows every path in the topology table, including neighbors that fail the feasibility condition and are hidden from the default output.
show ip eigrp topology 10.50.0.0/24
Shows one prefix in full, with minimum bandwidth, total delay, hop count, originating router and route type for each path.
show ip eigrp topology active
Lists routes currently active and the neighbors that still owe a reply, marked r. The starting point for stuck in active.
show ip eigrp interfaces detail
Lists interfaces running EIGRP with peers, pacing, hello and hold settings and authentication. Passive interfaces are not listed.
show ip eigrp traffic
Counts hellos, updates, queries, replies, acks and SIA packets sent and received. Rising query counts point to something flapping.
show ip protocols
Shows each routing process with AS, K values, router ID, variance, maximum paths, network statements, passive interfaces and AD values.
Example
Output
show ip protocols | include K1|Router-ID
show ip route eigrp
Shows only EIGRP routes in the routing table, D for internal and D EX for external, with [AD/metric].
show eigrp address-family ipv4 neighbors
The named mode version of the neighbor table, labelled with the instance name and AS.
show eigrp address-family ipv4 topology
The named mode topology table, showing 64-bit wide metric values rather than the scaled routing table values.
debug eigrp packets
Prints EIGRP packets as they are sent and received, including ones ignored for authentication problems. Use briefly and on a quiet router.
clear ip eigrp neighbors 10.0.12.2
Resets one EIGRP adjacency. Without an address it resets all of them, which drops every EIGRP route on the router for a moment.
eigrp stub connected summary
Makes the router an EIGRP stub that advertises only connected and summary routes. Its neighbors stop sending it queries.
variance 2
Installs feasible successors whose metric is within twice the best metric, for unequal cost load sharing. In named mode it goes under topology base.
ip summary-address eigrp 100 10.20.0.0 255.255.252.0
Classic mode summary sent out this interface. Installs a Null0 discard route with AD 5 on the local router.
eigrp upgrade-cli CAMPUS
Converts a classic EIGRP configuration into named mode with the given name, without resetting neighbors.
show ip rip database
Shows every prefix RIP knows with hop count and source, including routes not installed because another protocol has lower AD.
debug ip rip
Prints RIP updates sent and received with each prefix and hop count. Handy for seeing split horizon and poisoned routes with metric 16.
timers basic 30 180 180 240
Sets the RIP update, invalid, holddown and flush timers. The values shown are the defaults. Must match on every RIP router.
show isis neighbors
Lists IS-IS adjacencies with system ID, level, interface, IP address, state and hold time.
show isis database detail
Shows every LSP per level with its prefixes, metrics and neighbors, plus the ATT, P and OL bits.
show clns interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
Shows IS-IS settings on one interface, including circuit type, network type, metrics and hello timers.
set-overload-bit on-startup wait-for-bgp
Advertises the IS-IS overload bit after a reload until BGP has converged, so the router does not attract transit traffic too early.

NX-OS1

show ip eigrp topology
Shows the EIGRP topology table on NX-OS, with successors and feasible successors per prefix, like on IOS.

Arista EOS1

show isis neighbors
Lists IS-IS adjacencies on Arista EOS with system ID, interface, level and state.

Junos2

show isis adjacency
Lists IS-IS adjacencies with interface, system name, level and state on Junos.
show isis database
Shows the IS-IS link state database per level on Junos, with LSP IDs, sequence numbers and lifetimes.
