# NAME

`eigrpctl` — control the EIGRP routing daemon

# SYNOPSIS

`eigrpctl` | [`-s` socket] command [argument ...]

# DESCRIPTION

The `eigrpctl` program controls the eigrpd(8) daemon. Commands may be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example, `s i` for `show interfaces`.

The following options are available:

`-s` socket
  Use socket instead of the default /var/run/eigrpd.sock to communicate with eigrpd(8).

The following commands are available:

`clear neighbors` [`family` family] [`as` as] [address]
  Delete entries from the neighbor table. family, as, and address can be used to limit the scope of the command to the given address family, autonomous system and/or address. If no argument is given, all neighbors from all EIGRP instances will be deleted.
`fib couple`
  Insert the learned routes into the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
`fib decouple`
  Remove the learned routes from the Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the kernel routing table. Decoupling the FIB from an EIGRP router may create routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete EIGRP cloud. Only routers with just one link to the EIGRP cloud can safely decouple the FIB.
`log brief`
  Disable verbose debug logging.
`log verbose`
  Enable verbose debug logging.
`reload`
  Reload the configuration file.
`show fib` [`family` family] [filter]
  Show the Forwarding Information Base. family, if given, limit the output to the given address family. filter can be any of the following:

  `connected`
    Show only connected routes.
  `interface` [interface]
    Show only interfaces or the specified interface.
  `eigrp`
    Show only EIGRP routes.
  `static`
    Show only static routes.

  `connected`, `eigrp` and `static` may be specified together.

`show interfaces` [`family` family] [`as` as] [interface]
  Show details for all EIGRP enabled interfaces or the specified interface. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.
`show neighbor` [`family` family] [`as` as]
  Show neighbors. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.
`show topology` [`family` family] [`as` as] [prefix | filter]
  Show the topology table. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system. prefix can be specified to show the entries matching a destination prefix. filter can be any of the following:

  `active`
    Show only active entries.
  `all-links`
    Show all entries.
`show traffic` [`family` family] [`as` as]
  Show traffic statistics. family and as, if given, limit the output to the given address family and/or autonomous system.
