What is EIGRP Protocol Analysis?
The EIGRP Protocol Analysis skill is a technical toolkit designed for network engineers and automated agents to perform deep-dive diagnostics on Cisco routing environments. By leveraging the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) reasoning, this addition to Openclaw Skills identifies successor paths, validates feasibility conditions, and detects redistribution loops across multi-platform Cisco deployments including IOS-XE and NX-OS.
This skill goes beyond simple command execution by providing a structured framework for diagnosing complex protocol behaviors. It assists in understanding the lifecycle of a route, from initial neighbor discovery to the calculation of loop-free alternate paths, ensuring high availability and optimal path selection in enterprise networks.
EIGRP Protocol Analysis Use Cases
- Troubleshooting missing or suboptimal EIGRP routes in the routing table.
- Diagnosing Stuck-in-Active (SIA) conditions and query/reply failures.
- Identifying K-value mismatches preventing neighbor adjacency.
- Detecting redistribution loops between EIGRP and other protocols like OSPF.
- Validating EIGRP named mode migration parity with classic mode.
How EIGRP Protocol Analysis Works
- Perform EIGRP instance and neighbor inventory to verify adjacency status and SRTT metrics.
- Analyze the topology table to evaluate DUAL states, including Feasible Distance (FD) and Reported Distance (RD).
- Diagnose Stuck-in-Active (SIA) routes by tracing query chains and evaluating query scope mitigations.
- Validate K-values and metric weights to ensure consistency across the autonomous system.
- Review redistribution and route filtering configurations to detect potential routing loops or administrative distance conflicts.
EIGRP Protocol Analysis Setup
Ensure you have SSH access to your Cisco devices. As part of your Openclaw Skills library, this tool requires the ssh binary and read-only privileges on the target device. Enable the EIGRP feature on NX-OS before execution.
# Verify neighbor status on IOS-XE
show ip eigrp neighbors
# Verify neighbor status on NX-OS
show ip eigrp neighbors vrf all
EIGRP Protocol Analysis Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes routing data into structured categories to facilitate rapid analysis and reporting:
| Data Category | Key Metrics Captured |
|---|---|
| Neighbor Table | Address, Interface, Hold Time, SRTT, Q-Count |
| Topology Table | Prefix, FD, RD, Successor, Feasible Successor |
| Metric Params | K-Values (K1-K5), Metric Mode (Classic vs Wide) |
| SIA Status | Active Timer, Query Count, Unresponsive Neighbors |
| Redistribution | External Route Count, Route Tags, Admin Distance |
EIGRP Protocol Analysis Advanced Features
- Multi-platform support for both Cisco IOS-XE and NX-OS command syntax.
- DUAL-reasoning-driven diagnosis for backup path (Feasible Successor) validation.
- Wide metric support (64-bit) for EIGRP named mode migrations and rib-scale verification.
- Automated redistribution loop detection using route tag analysis and administrative distance checks.
- Query scope optimization recommendations using stub and summarization boundary logic.
