Re: Access-list for EIGRP traffic...

Hello Kenneth,
One scenerio that I tested that is if you have passive-interface and a
neighbor statement, your not going to be able to establish adjacency with
your neighbor. And your not going to see your neighbor.
If you just use the neighbor command you will send and receive unicast
traffic, this command has to be on both sides, and again I tested with and
without passive-interface.
Sincerely,
Matijevic
