EIGRP Layer 3 VPN PE-CE Site-of-Origin
This is the command to set the EIGRP metric in a route policy:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-rpl)# set eigrp-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
This is the command to provide EIGRP offset list functionality in a route policy:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-rpl)# add eigrp-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
A route policy can be used in EIGRP only if all the statements are applicable to the particular EIGRP attach
point. The following commands accept a route policy:
• default-information allowed—Match statements are allowed for destination. No set statements are
• route-policy—Match statements are allowed for destination, next hop, and tag. Set statements are
• redistribute—Match statements are allowed for destination, next hop, source-protocol, tag and route-type.
The range for setting a tag is 0 to 255 for internal routes and 0 to 4294967295 for external routes.
EIGRP Layer 3 VPN PE-CE Site-of-Origin
The EIGRP MPLS and IP VPN PE-CE Site-of-Origin (SoO) feature introduces the capability to filter
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) traffic on a per-site basis for
EIGRP networks. SoO filtering is configured at the interface level and is used to manage MPLS and IP VPN
traffic and to prevent transient routing loops from occurring in complex and mixed network topologies.
Router Interoperation with the Site-of-Origin Extended Community
The configuration of the SoO extended community allows routers that support this feature to identify the site
from which each route originated. When this feature is enabled, the EIGRP routing process on the PE or CE
router checks each received route for the SoO extended community and filters based on the following conditions:
• A received route from BGP or a CE router contains a SoO value that matches the SoO value on the
• A received route from a CE router is configured with a SoO value that does not match:
• A received route from a CE router does not contain a SoO value:

receiving interface:
◦ If a route is received with an associated SoO value that matches the SoO value that is configured
on the receiving interface, the route is filtered out because it was learned from another PE router
or from a backdoor link. This behavior is designed to prevent routing loops.
◦ If a route is received with an associated SoO value that does not match the SoO value that is
configured on the receiving interface, the route is accepted into the EIGRP topology table so that
it can be redistributed into BGP.
◦ If the route is already installed in the EIGRP topology table but is associated with a different SoO
value, the SoO value from the topology table is used when the route is redistributed into BGP.
