The eigrp.conf file contains configuration parameters that you edit to customize Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP discovery. The parameters are a subset of attributes that are defined for the topology manager (EIGRP-Adapter-Manager) that will run in the Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP environment.

Parameters in the eigrp.conf file describes the parameters in the eigrp.conf file. The parameters and their values are case-sensitive.

Parameter

Value

Description

Config

Regular expression: eigrp

Identifies this Domain Manager configuration as Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP.

Note:

Do not change this parameter.

AdminDownFlag

TRUE,FALSE

Default: FALSE

Controls whether Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP generates alarms on the EIGRP sessions of EIGRP protocol endpoints that are administratively down (manually disabled).

  • A value of TRUE indicates that alarms are not generated on the EIGRP sessions.

  • A value of FALSE indicates that alarms are generated on the EIGRP sessions.

ProhibitPrivLevelCLILogon

TRUE,FALSE

Default: FALSE

Controls whether the CLI login credentials for Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP are configured for Privileged mode or User mode.

  • A value of TRUE indicates that the credentials are configured for User mode.

  • A value of FALSE indicates that the credentials are configured for Privileged mode.

For User mode, a Privileged-mode enable password is not required when logging in to a managed device.

PrivLevel

enable_level_8,enable_level_1

Default: enable_level_8

Specified the access level of Privileged mode. PrivLevel is valid only when ProhibitPrivLevelCLILogon = FALSE.

  • PrivLevel = enable_level_8 configures the CLI login credentials for Privileged mode 8.

  • PrivLevel = enable_level_1 configures the CLI login credentials for Privileged mode 1.

Level 1 access is more restrictive than level 8 access. Both allow access to some information about a managed device, such as interfaces and the routes in routing tables, but neither allows configuration changes or the viewing of the running configuration file.

Note:

If you encounter discovery issues with Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP, shut down Network Protocol Manager for EIGRP, remove its repository file, set the PrivLevel parameter to enable_level_1, restart the manager, and perform a full discovery. The procedures for removing a repository file and performing a full discovery are presented in the Network Protocol Manager Discovery Guide Supplement.
