EIGRP Tables

EIGRP keeps three active tables in its database.

Topology Table – Is kept for each protocol. It is a table of all the route entries the router has learned. Syntax: show ip eigrp topology shows the number of successors, active or passive, and distance to destination.

Neighbor Table – EIGRP keeps a table for each adjacent router and one for each protocol.

Syntax: show ip eigrp neighbors

Routing Table – Each protocol has its own routing table. EIGRP calculates the best route, or successor, from the topology table and puts the entry in the routing table.

Syntax: show route eigrp
