CCNA EIGRP LAB Question

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.

    @mariah
    check “show ip route” to see if it takes effect.
    if not try “ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 OUTGOING_INTERFACE”
    if that doesnt work then try “ip default-network 198.0.18.0″

    then see if it is propagating across the routed domain by verifying the routes table on the neighboring routers

    can i have some to answer this question for me please? i do have the habit of using show ip interface brief and use the interface ip address to config the eigrp networks is that ok to use on the exam or i have to use the network address. exam in tow days please answer :0)

    xallax: I worked with EIGRP SIMs that are given here. I saw that in show ip route we dont have a static route to ISP and although I know its not a part of this particular task, I wanted to configure it and I did it with the command written above. When I did show ip route, the route was there and everything seemed fine. But still, I cant ping from R3 to 198.0.18.5 for example. What can be wrong? Would I lose points on the exam for this?

    Hi, I passed CCNA with 975/1000. Many thanks to 9tut for bringing us such a wonderful resource for preparation. I got all 3 Sims from this site which are VTP, ACL2 and EIGRP.

    Here, I’ll tell you about what I got in EIGRP SIM.

    1. The routers’ names were changed as well as IPs.
    2. On R3, EIGRP AS no. was different so I changed it and add networks.
    3. In running-config of R1, I see ‘passive-interface’ command to the link connecting ISP, So I just leave it unchanged and ‘default network’ was present as well.
    4. On R1, wrong network statements were present. So have to remove them and add correct statements.
    5. After that the EIGRP converged and I see EIGRP routes as well as default route on routers R1,R2 and R3.
    6. Pings were successful from other routers to R1 but not to ISP. The question didn’t ask me to establish connectivity to ISP, so I just leave it. On the contrary, applying NAT on R1 would be the only solution.

    Good Luck to all for your exam….

    Hello Guys !
    The new EIGRP Sim Question came in Exame …… I Failed in exam on 02- June-2012 because of that sim Question. If someone can help me to solve this sim? Could be very thanks of that……..

    CCNA.com has a samall network that is using EIGRP as its IGP. ALL router should be running an EIGRP AS number of 112. Router Campus is also running static routing to ISP.
    CCNA.com has recently adding the Main Router. Currently the Main router does not have connectivity to the ISP router. All other interconnectivity and internet access for the existing location of the company are working properly. This task is to identify the fault and correct the router configuration to provide full connecticity between the router .
    Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host.
    All password on all router are cisco.

    Passed my ccna exam today!!! Praise GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd!!!!! Simulation questions in the exam EIGRP,VTP Acesslist2, study the simulations !!!! use packet tracer or gns3 and the rest of the questions here until you know the answers, it is better to take at least 4 weeks going through this site before you attempt the exam, unless you are advanced on cisco networking, but if you are a rookie like me, it took me at least 6 weeks to study this site and dumps from examcollection.com, to pass today!

  34. EIGRP lab question
    June 22nd, 2012

    When we enter these two command lines: R3(config-router)#network 192.168.60.0

    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.77.0

    Is it needed to type the subnet mask?

    Thanks.

  35. Mike
    June 22nd, 2012

    @EIGRP
    NO mate, you don’t have to type subnet mask, only no auto-summary command.
    And DO NOT USE wild card mask too, my friend used it on exam and sim star working really slow+glitches. Do NOT ower think and DO NOT make things complicated.

    thanx to 9tut…all question from 9tut and labs where eigrp,vtp,and acl2.
    eigrp is changed mean the question are same but there requirement are changed they asked that all router is configured correctly but no connectivity with isp so find the fault and provide the connectivity..jst go every router and checked the advertised network and the as…verry easy dont be affraid like before i was…just study only 9tut and no need for dumbs as weell best of luck

    I had CCNA Exam on few days back EIGRP is bit changed …
    it was some thing like
    R1:
    S 0/0 192.168.60.XX
    FA 0/0: 192.168.50.xx
    FA 0/1: 192.168.50.xx

    Friends,

    I would like to know the people who made the test recently in cpe R1 is configured default routes below, or if it was necessary to perform the configurations of these routes in EIGRP LAB.

    Thank you!
