EIGRP MIB
The EIGRP MIB feature provides full EIGRP support for GET requests and limited notification (also known as trap) support for stuck-in-active (SIA), neighbor down, and neighbor authentication failure events. This MIB is accessed through remote Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) software clients. The EIGRP IPv6 MIB feature enables IPv6 support for the EIGRP MIB.

EIGRP MIB Overview
The EIGRP MIB feature provides MIB support in Cisco software for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) routing processes that run over IPv4 and IPv6. The EIGRP MIB is accessed through remote Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) software clients. MIB table objects are accessed as read-only through GETBULK, GETINFO, GETMANY, GETONE, and GETNEXT requests. Counters for MIB table objects are cleared when the EIGRP routing process is reset or when the routing table is refreshed when you enter the clear ip route or clear ip eigrp command. Managed objects for all EIGRP routing processes are implemented as five table objects—EIGRP Interface, EIGRP Neighbor, EIGRP Topology, EIGRP Traffic Statistics, and EIGRP VPN—on a per-autonomous-system or per-VPN basis.
EIGRP Interface Table
The EIGRP Interface table contains information and statistics for all interfaces on which the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) has been configured. The objects in this table are populated on a per-interface basis. The table below describes EIGRP Interface table objects and the values populated for each object.

EIGRP Neighbor Table
The EIGRP Neighbor table contains information about Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) neighbors with which adjacencies have been established. EIGRP uses a “Hello” protocol to form neighbor relationships with directly connected EIGRP neighbors. The objects in this table are populated on a per-neighbor basis. The table below describes EIGRP Neighbor table objects and the values populated for each object.

EIGRP Notifications
The EIGRP MIB provides limited notification (trap) support for neighbor authentication failure, neighbor down, and stuck-in-active (SIA) events. Use the snmp-server enable traps eigrp command to enable Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) notifications or traps on a Cisco device. To activate support for trap events, you must configure a trap destination by using the snmp-server host command and define a community string by using the snmp-server community command. EIGRP notifications are described in the table below.
|
EIGRP Notifications |
Description |
|---|---|
|
cEigrpAuthFailureEvent |
When EIGRP message digest algorithm 5 (MD5) authentication is enabled on any interface and neighbor adjacencies are formed, a notification is sent if any adjacency goes down because of an authentication failure. This notification will be sent once per down event. This notification includes the source IP address of the neighbor from which the authentication failure occurred. |
|
cEigrpNbrDownEvent |
This notification is sent when a neighbor goes down for any reason, such as hold time expiry, neighbor shutdown, interface shutdown, SIA events, or authentication failure. If a neighbor is down because of an authentication failure, both cEigrpAuthFailureEvent and cEigrpNbrDownEvent notifications are sent. |
|
cEigrpRouteStuckInActive |
During the query phase for a new route to a destination network, the route is placed in active state (during which an alternate path is actively sought) and a query packet is broadcast to the network. If no replies are received for the query, SIA query packets are broadcast. If no replies are received for the SIA queries, the neighbor adjacency is dropped, the route is declared to be in an SIA state, and this notification is sent. |
