Question

After adding R3 router, no routing updates are being exchanged between R3 and the new location. All other inter connectivity and Internet access for the existing locations of the company are working properly.

The task is to identify the fault(s) and correct the router configuration to provide full connectivity between the routers.

Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host. All passwords on all routers are cisco.

IP addresses are listed in the chart below.

R1
Fa0/0: 192.168.77.33
S1/0: 198.0.18.6
S0/1: 192.168.60.25

Fa0/0: 192.168.77.34
Fa0/1: 192.168.60.65

Answer and explanation

(Note: If you are not sure how EIGRP works, please read my EIGRP tutorial: http://www.9tut.com/eigrp-routing-protocol-tutorial. Note: You can download this sim to practice here: http://www.9tut.com/download/9tut.com_CCNA_EIGRP_sim_question.zip)

We should check the configuration of the new added router first because it does not function properly while others work well. From the command line interface of R3 router, enter the show running-config command

ccna_eigrp_sim_show_run

From the output above, we know that this router was wrongly configured with an autonomous number (AS) of 22. When the AS numbers among routers are mismatched, no adjacency is formed.

(You should check the AS numbers on other routers for sure)

To solve this problem, we simply re-configure router R3 with the following commands:

R3>enable (you have to enter cisco as its password here)

R3#configure terminal

R3(config)#no router eigrp 22

R3(config)#router eigrp 212

R3(config-router)#network 192.168.60.0

R3(config-router)#network 192.168.77.0

R3(config-router)#no auto-summary

R3(config-router)#end

R3#copy running-config startup-config

Check R1 router with the show running-config command:

ccna_eigrp_sim_show_run_2

Notice that it is missing a definition to the network R3. Therefore we have to add it so that it can recognize R3 router

R1>enable (you have to enter cisco as its password here)

R1#configure terminal

R1(config)#router eigrp 212

R1(config-router)#network 192.168.77.0

R1(config-router)#end

R1#copy running-config startup-config

Now the whole network will work well. You should check again with ping command from router R3 to other routers!

Modifications:

Maybe in this EIGRP Sim you will see the “passive-interface …” command somewhere in R1 configuration. If the link between R1 to R2; or R1 to R3; or R1 to R4) routers has the “passive interface” then we have to remove it with the “no passive-interface …” command because it prevents EIGRP update from being sent on that interface. But if the “passive interface” is applied to the link between R1 and ISP router like this:

R1:

!
router eigrp 212
passive-interface s1/0
!

then we just leave it. Don’t use the “no passive-interface s1/0″ on R1 because the link between R1 & ISP doesn’t need EIGRP to run on it. A static route from R1 to ISP & “ip default-network” command in R1 are correct so that all the routers (R1, R2, R3, R4) can access the Internet.

(Note: The “ip default-network” command in R1 will advertise the static route of R1 (to go to the Internet) to other routers (R2,R3,R4) so that they can access the Internet too). In the exam you will see these lines in R1 configuration:

!
ip default-network 198.0.18.0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5
!

If you want to learn more about “ip default-network” command please read: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094374.shtml

I read recent comments and realized that you will see the “passive-interface” in the link between R1 & ISP router so just leave it.

Note: Also some readers confuse about if we should use the wildcard masks on the “network” statements under EIGRP process or not. For example should we use:

router eigrp 212
network 192.168.77.0 0.0.0.3

The answer is: we can use wildcard masks or not, it does not matter. Not having a wildcard mask does not make the routes conflicting. The “network …” command in EIGRP (and OSPF, RIP) does not means “advertise this network” but means “If I has interface(s) belongs to this network please turn on EIGRP on that interface. Therefore when you don’t use wildcard mask EIGRP will turn on EIGRP on all interfaces that belongs to the network you specify in the “network …” command.

You should only use wildcard mask on EIGRP if you have 2 or more interfaces that belong to the same major networks but you don’t want to run EIGRP on all of them. For example if your router has 2 interfaces whose IP addresses are 192.168.30.1/28 and 192.168.30.17/28 but you only want to run EIGRP on the first interface, you can type “network 192.168.30.0 0.0.0.15″ under EIGRP process.

    September 23rd, 2011

    hi Guys how are you ? well I have a question regarding EIGRP simulation.

    do we need to establish a connection between ISP router to R3 router.
    do we really need to ping 192.0.18.4 or 18.5 through R3 router CLI.
    or we just need to get connection to R1, R2, R3, and R4 they can ping each other no need to ping ISP serial interface am I right ?
    is there any Passive interface command example is available .

    Please guide me on that side I shall be very thank full to you for this kindness.

    regards

    Faisal

    I am having some questions about this lab…
    I don’t understand why we publish
    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.60.0
    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.77.0
    Why we disable auto summary and then summarize manually?
    why we don´t publish 192.168.77.32 0.0.0.3 instead of 192.168.77.0 ???
    why we don´t publish 192.168.60.0 0.0.0.127 instead of 192.168.60.0 ???

    cleared CCNA today, so funny 1000/1000 is my score, ACL, EIGRP, VTP, 53 questions, about 3 to 5 question not in collision/acme so easy to answer.

  13. @sandeep

    hi Declan, congratulations,
    how did u connect isp and R1. did u enabled the interface OR used the default static cmd, give me the config for the serial interface…

    EGRIP sims :
    I try to ping from routers R1 and R3 to ISP serial 198.0.18.6
    i get the response from R1 , from R3 – none
    that mean not all host can access the ISP
    and what about this :
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5
    i need some explanation

  15. piyush pathak

    What is valid reason for a switch to deny port access to new devices when port security is enabled?
    A. The denied MAC addresses have already been learned or confgured on another secure interface in the
    same VLAN.
    B. The denied MAC address are statically configured on the port.
    C. The minimum MAC threshold has been reached.
    D. The absolute aging times for the denied MAC addresses have expired.

    answer in dump was given B. but I think it is C. so please someone clarify my problem

  16. piyush pathak
    September 27th, 2011

    in ACME dump there is question no. 228. in that answer is written C. but in my opinion it is D. so please clarify the same asap. thanks in advance

    @9tut and All
    Could you please explain more about ‘passive-interface…..’ command. Like if this command is in R1/R2/R3/R4 then how the commands will be looks like in router when I type ”showrunning-config”? and also if there is passive-interface and I want to remove it then would be the command like this:

    Router(config)#no passive-interface
    Router(config)#end

    and in modification it saying that: ‘A static route from R1 to ISP & “ip default-network” command in R1 are the correct answers.

    (Note: The “ip default-network” command in R1 will advertise the static route of R1 (to go to the Internet) to other routers (R2,R3,R4) so that they can access the Internet too). In the exam you will see these lines in R1 configuration:

    !
    ip default-network 198.0.18.0
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5
    !

    So what to do about ip default-network, if there is?

    Please explain me.
    Thanks.

  18. 9tut
    September 28th, 2011

    @new learner:
    If the passive-interface exists then it will be in router mode. For example:
    !
    router eigrp 212
    network ….
    passive-interface s1/0
    !

    You can remove it with the “no passive-interface s1/0″ command.
    In the exam, you don’t need to remove this command because it is between R1 & ISP routers (and it is correct).

    The “ip default-network ” command helps router say with others: “If you don’t know where to send the packet, send it to this “

    do we have to put “ip default-network” if its not there at R1??????

    hello everybody… cleared CCNA today,
    got eigrp, vtp, access-lists2 and few questions out of the dump.

  22. new learner
    September 28th, 2011

    @9tut

    Do I have to ping from one host to other host or one routerr to other router after configure the EIGRP 212 in R3? If it is then how I will do ping from one host to other host (because there is no IP address given for the host). so how do i ping from one host to other? or do I need to put the ip address manually for every single host and then do ping. I am bit confused. because this sim looks like very simple!!!

    And also if I get EIGRP sim in exam with same question then do I need to do only change AS in the router (which has wrong AS) and then add the network in R1? is that all??!!!

    thanks.

  23. 9tut
    September 28th, 2011

    @Cisco craze: Just do what the question requires, don’t try to put the “ip default-network” command at R1. But I am sure it is there so don’t worry.

    @new learner: After configuring, you should ping among routers R1, R2, R3, R4 (not hosts because you are not given the IP addresses of hosts). If you configure correctly, the ping should be successful.

    “And also if I get EIGRP sim in exam with same question then do I need to do only change AS in the router (which has wrong AS) and then add the network in R1? is that all??!!!”

    -> Try to check every router with the “show running-config” command to find missing commands. Maybe you will only need to do what you mentioned above. But make sure you understood the concept behind.

    I just passed my CCNA this morning with a score of 943/1000. Simulations were the same Eigrp, Vtp and ACL-2. Study the ACME/Collisio-486 dump from examcollection! The sims are the same, but the answers are different, so make sure you are comfortable moving around in the simulation and getting the info you need! Good Luck!

    @9tut

    You said that, after configuring, I should ping among routers R1, R2, R3, R4. I configured correctly according to the instruction that 9tut has given above, the ping should be successful. But I could not ping from one router to another.

    Could You please tell me, what would be the ip address if i want to ping from R1 to R2 and R3-R4.

    I meant to say, what address shall i give to the command ping x.x.x.x (what would be the ‘x’ value?) if I want to ping from R1 to R2 and also from R3 to R4.

    Please help me.

    Thanks

    @new learner

    I’m not trying to be a dick, but if you don’t know what ip address to ping, then you have a LONG way to go. Use the ip address of an interface. Two great ways to find an interface’s address is: sh run, & sh ip int br. Ping the interface that exits R1 or the ISP’s interface.

    i have a doubt… in my eigrp exam.. i was able to change the eigrp number correctly. but when i try to add the new router ip address to the other router i got the information as configuration mode disabled . i was only able to login to a hub and give the confioguration comand. does it make sense? can we give router commands in a hub? pls reply. if its wrong with cisco i can take up this case and get my pass marks

  35. fate

    if u guys didnt understood my ques . pls ask i will explain again

  36. fate
    September 30th, 2011

    guys pla help.. so i can be sure if its my mistake or the sim was flawed..

    i will explain again.. with the example shown in this page..

    i changed the as in r3..

    but when i tried to enter configuration mode in r1 it said config mode disabled… i tried in r2 router. it said the same.

    i was able to get into config mode from a pc connected to a hub … which is then connected to the router.. but how is it possible to give commands using a hub… and even if we can then… it should still say config mode disabled right. coz after all i am trying to get into r1 router only… doesnt make sense at all…

    i got 801.. if this was right i would have got 900. pls help

  37. mo mo
    September 30th, 2011

    can i use for verification “show ip route” instead of “ping”?

    @ fate: did u see any passive interfaces between R 1,2,3

  38. fate
    September 30th, 2011

    mo mo – yes u can do that… to find if router can read…

    and yes i checked and there was no passive interface.. but it doesnt matter. as i was not able to login to configuration mode. it came as this mode is disabled

    I took the exam today and had the EIGRP sim. When I went into config mode on both routers I was told that ‘no router eigrp xx’ and ‘router eigrp xx’ were not valid commands in the sim. I was connected to the PC that was connected to each of the routers.

    What am I missing? This would have put me over the passing mark, as I aced the other two sims, VTP, and Access-list2

    i took the exam this week. When i make, show int, the configuration it’s different of show run, and eigrp never works well, doesn’t matter if i put the right AS, the right masks, in the R1 router, don’t work.. i fail in the exam, and lost so much time try this lab works.. Can i do something or just have to take the exam in order place? :)

  42. Cisco craze

    does the use of ? decreases your numbers in labs???

    What if i removed the passive interface command from r1 to isp???

    If we do No eigrp[AS],,,does all the network it previously learn’t removes from the router????and with Router eigrp 212 we must then have to add the networks???

  43. sam
    October 2nd, 2011

    @9tut

    Notice that it is missing a definition to the network R3. Therefore we have to add it so that it can recognize R3 router

    R1>enable (you have to enter cisco as its password here)

    R1#configure terminal

    R1(config)#router eigrp 212

    R1(config-router)#network 192.168.77.0

    R1(config-router)#end

    R1#copy running-config startup-config

    From the above command after add network 192.168.77.0, ”no auto-summary” command is not there. my question is should I add this command in the exam. I’ll lose mark if I don’t add ”no auto-summary” command.

    ”Just select an IP of an interface on that router to “ping “ ”
    @Anonymous
    ”Ping the interface that exits R1 or the ISP’s interface.”

    I tried all the way to ping and also followed both of your instruction. I am really concern that is there anything do i need to do? I am using exactly same step by step procedure and same ip address on above EIGRP sim. Firstly I correct AS number in R3 then add ”network 192.168.77.0” to the R1. then I go to command prompt of host D as well as host c in R3 and type ping 192.168.77.34
    / 192.168.60.65 /192.168.60.81 but always request timed out.

    P.s. according to the above sim in host C in R3 or different host in different router there is no IP address given. So I am wondering may be need to put IP address in every single host? If it is then please could you give me any hints that what would be the IP address of host C in R3.

    Pls pls help me out. I am trying to get solution by different resources but no luck.

  49. ATX
    October 3rd, 2011

    @Aruna….I checked the existing running-config and startup-config, neither of them showed the correct AS number on the new router, or the correct IP network on the central router.

    Since we were unable to run the “no router eigrp 22″ and “router eigrp 212″ the config was uanble to be updated, so running copy run start would not have accomplished anything. Please excuse me if I misunderstood your statement.
