Advanced EIGRP Commands
Command Meaning
maximum-paths
Displays a routers table of known or learned destination networks
metric maximum-hops
Changes the hop count for EIGRP up to a maximum of 255
Here are the commands used in context:
Pod1R1(config)#
router eigrp 10
Pod1R1(config-router)#
maximum-paths ?
<1-6> Number of paths
In addition, EIGRP has a maximum hop count of 100 but can be set up to 255. Chances
are you wouldn’t want to ever change this, but if you did, here is how you would do it:
Pod1R1(config)#
router eigrp 10
Pod1R1(config-router)#
metric maximum-hops ?
<1-255> Hop count
As you can see from this router output, EIGRP can be set to a maximum of 255 hops, and
even though it doesn’t use hop count in the path metric calculation, it still uses the maximum
hop count to limit the scope of the Autonomous System.
