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.

ccna_eigrp_sim

R1
Fa0/0: 192.168.77.33
S1/0: 198.0.18.6
S0/1: 192.168.60.25
S0/0: 192.168.36.13
R2
Fa0/0: 192.168.60.97
Fa0/1: 192.168.60.113
S0/0: 192.168.36.14
R3
Fa0/0: 192.168.77.34
Fa0/1: 192.168.60.65
Fa1/0: 192.168.60.81
R4
Fa0/0: 192.168.60.129
Fa0/1: 192.168.60.145
S0/1: 192.168.60.26

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.

    Oh Ok. Then I think the simulator question is changed a little bit. Also I heard that the command short-forms will not work in the exams. Did any of you guys checked with commands like sh run, s ip int bri……….

    Please suggest me. Am Planning for CCNA exam shortly…..

  2. 9tut

    @new learner: In particular, you should ping from 192.168.36.14 (on R2) to 192.168.60.26 (on R4).

    @xallax
    Is the passive-interface/no passive-interface set up under “router command” or on the interface
    you want to deny updates or allow updates?
    If you don’t mind, can you please write out the complete command for me. Thanks.

  8. xallax
    October 4th, 2011

    @anonymous
    gladly :)
    first thing first: the command is usable under router configuration (Router(config-router)#).

    Router>en
    Router#conf t

    Router(config)#router eigrp 101
    Router(config-router)#?
    auto-summary____Enable automatic network number summarization
    distance_________Define an administrative distance
    exit_____________Exit from routing protocol configuration mode
    metric___________Modify IGRP routing metrics and parameters
    network_________Enable routing on an IP network
    no______________Negate a command or set its defaults
    passive-interface__Suppress routing updates on an interface
    redistribute_______Redistribute information from another routing protocol
    variance_________Control load balancing variance

    Router(config-router)#passive-interface FastEthernet0/1
    – set fa0/1 as a passive-interface
    – this interface will not be sending eigrp update packets
    – this interface will not be processing any received eigrp update packets

    “You can use the passive-interface command in order to control the advertisement of routing information. The command enables the suppression of routing updates over some interfaces while it allows updates to be exchanged normally over other interfaces.”

    I can see some people say that for some odd reason they were not able to use “no router eigrp” and “router eigrp” command is it true,If so what is the alternative to enter the config ??

    Please help,Taking test this friday

  10. xallax
    October 5th, 2011

    @fatality
    there is no alternative to enter routing configuration mode except “router PROTOCOL”:
    router rip
    router eigrp 7
    router ospf 0

    What about “no auto-summary” command, should it be added to R3 config ???? Why it’s not at the same color as other sim commands. Please anyone ask this questions i am taking exam on oct 24th. Thanks in advance!

  32. 9tut
    October 23rd, 2011

    @small_yello: We must use the “no auto-summary” command because R3 has a discontiguous network 192.168.60.0.

    HELLO!!!

    may i know how did you configure correctly the eigrp and acl2 sims?
    coz in eigrp the AS on rtr3 is 22 and we need to changed it to 222 and there are 2 network addresses and no auto-summary output when you type sh run, (for eq.)
    rtr3
    router eigrp 22
    network 192.168.60.0
    network 192.168.77.0
    no auto-summary
    rtr1
    router eigrp 222
    network 192.168.36.0
    network 192.168.60.0
    network 192.0.18.0
    my question is what network address did you type on rtr1 to see what missing network address on rtr3 is it 192.168.77.0 or 192.168.60.0?
    please explain………..
    and what if u make the wrong network address on rtr1 you loose points on exam?
    what if after your configuration ur not able to ping this rtr3 to check the other router but ur able to ping rtr1 to other routers what is the common mistake their????? please help me out im confused…
    (please help me)________(please help me)
    anyone pls
    Thank you just want to clarify.

    @twinkle
    The command you’re looking for is “#show run”. The fa link between R1 & R3 is fa0/0 (77.33) to R3 fa0/0 (77.34).

    1. First look at all #sh run” output for each router. You’ll see the common eigrp AS# is 212 (not 222) except for on R3, it’s AS#22. (Note the ip addy for fa0/0)

    2. Configure on R3:
    #conf t
    #no router eigrp 22
    #router eigrp 212
    #network 192.168.60.0
    #network 192.168.77.0
    #no auto-summary
    #end
    #wr mem
    (now check that it’s all now there #sh run)

    3. Now go back to R1. Since you’ve just added the eigrp 212 network to R3, make sure that you’ve got that interface (fa0/0;192.168.77.33) advertising in eigrp too or else it won’t come through from R3 to even be able to get to the other routers! You don’t! So add it:
    #conf t
    #router eigrp 212
    #network 192.168.77.0
    (no need to say no auto-sum since it’s already configured)
    #end
    #wr mem
    #sh run

    4. Now ping around town from R3

    Hi, just did my CCNA exam… Had vtp, acl2 and eigrp… In my eigrp sim I when I used the show running-config command, I didn’t see any routing info… Are there any other commands to view the AS numbers etc. Also the other routers didn’t allow me to use the configure terminal command

    Hi…I passed CCNA exam today with 986/1000.
    ——————————————————
    guys who willing to get exam,consider about these,
    1.Don’t forget to enter “copy run start” command after configuration sims.
    2.In EIGRP -”no auto summery”
    3.In ACL -apply acl to right interface.
    these are the things that most of candidates are not doing in the exam.

    Question : There are two networks A and B. A and B’s routers are running with RIP,EIGRP and OSPF protocols. IP – 172.16.5.0\28 is used in both networks.Auto summarizatio is turned ON. So in this case which protocol will the routers choose ?
