Re: Unicast over Eigrp neighborship

"Due to the current behavior of this command, EIGRP exchanges routing
information with the neighbors in the form of unicast packets whenever the
neighbor command is configured for an interface. EIGRP stops processing all
multicast packets that come inbound on that interface. Also, EIGRP stops
sending multicast packets on that interface."

Only the interface with the statically-configured neighbor stops processing
mcast Hellos, in or out. Other interfaces would not be affected. This
seems to match what you're seeing in GNS3.
