Route-map

[danny.carroll]

Hello,

I am trying to determine if you are able to block a route with a route-map.

I know i can block route through a distribute list. I can also block redistributing with a route map but can i make a route-map act as a distribute list and drop packets from 1 eigrp router to another?

I've been trying in a lab all morning and it doesn't seem to work.

route-map deny_172 deny 10

match ip address 1

interface fa0/0

ip policy route-map deny_172

access-list 1 permit 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.255

thanks

As you have discovered the route map assigned under an interface is for Policy Based Routing which manages packet traffic and not routing updates.

You are correct that it is easy to use a route map to control redistribution. And as you are coming to realize it is not possible to configure a route map which will control normal EIGRP routing updates.
