Shows the network topology for the configuration that follows, which shows how to configure EIGRP over MPLS where the MPLS PE devices are taking part in the EIGRP process.
***In this example, it is assumed that
the MPLS network is configured with the MPLS PE
devices participating in the EIGRP process and virtual route forwarding.
Only the client-side EIGRP configuration is shown here.***
R1 Router
R1(config)#interface fastethernet0/0
Enters interface configuration mode
R1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.252
Assigns the IP address and mask
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
Enables the interface
R1(config-if)#router eigrp 100
Creates routing process 100
R1(config-router)#network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255
Advertises the network in EIGRP
R1(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Advertises the network in EIGRP
R2 Router
R2(config)#interface fastethernet0/0
Enters interface configuration mode
R2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.252
Assigns the IP address and mask
R2(config-if)#no shutdown
Enables the interface
R2(config-if)#router eigrp 100
Creates routing process 100
R2(config-router)#network 172.17.2.0 0.0.0.255
Advertises the network in EIGRP
R2(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255
Advertises the network in EIGRP

NOTE: When deploying EIGRP over Layer 3 MPLS, no changes are needed to the basic EIGRP configuration from the customer perspective. The only difference here is that the customer has to agree on the EIGRP parameters—autonomous system num- bers, authentication password, and so on—with the service provider, because these parameters are often governed by the service provider.

NOTE: The PE routers receive IPv4 routing updates from the Client routers and install them in the appropriate Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table. This part of the configuration and operation is the responsibility of the service provider.

NOTE: From the EIGRP perspective, the MPLS backbone and routers PE1 and PE2 are not visible. A neighbor relationship is established directly between routers R1 and R2; you can verify this with the show ip eigrp neighbors command output.
