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.

    @ Arif
    yes, i did the no auto-summary,i did every thing as stated here at 9tut but still cant,get adjacency,i was thinking it has something to do static route,cus there was no passive interface on the router which i should have worried about

    Ping is not working to begin with, whats the problem? I did everything it says here to do. What’s this thing about passive interface? What command do I remove that with and where? Thanks. Is the passive interface going to be on the exam as well?

    Hi guys, would like to ask about an update regarding the exam.. what are the latest set of laboratory simulations on the actual ccna exam? is it still EIGRP, VTP and ACL2? will be havin my exam by monday 22nd of oct..
    thanks and best regards.. :)

    @ every one i pass the exam,thatnks to God ,9tut,exam collection for the dumps ,.the questions are the sam no changes at all just the ip address that change.Acl,Eigrp and Vtp ,study the consept en you will pass the exam,wish everyone good look this week,

    @Oct28 all the best on yr exam 2morow

  6. Richard

    Oct18 pls which of the dumps did you use and what was your score.

    October 19th, 2012

    @Oct18

    Congratulations @Oct18.

    Did you see any question like ”Implement, verify and troubleshoot NAT and Acls in a medium -size Enterprise branch office network”?

    I am worried about that because I am taking exam on this week.

    What was your ACL required?

  8. Oct18
    October 19th, 2012

    for the ACL2 THIS WAS MY Q

    Host C should be able to use a web browser(HTTP)to access the Finance Web Server
    - Other types of access from host C to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
    – All access from hosts in the Core or local LAN to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
    - All hosts in the Core and local LAN should be able to access the Public Web Server
    Only the ip address changes

    my answer was
    access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.175.3 host 172.22.81.17 eq 80
    access-list 100 deny ip any host 172.22.81.17
    access-list 100 permit ip any any
    int fa0/1
    ip access-list 100 out
    end
    copy running-config startup-config and i got 100% on the sim
    remember-
    the Implement, verify and troubleshoot NAT and Acls in a medium -size Enterprise branch office network is the ACL,NAT question in general BUT cisco is only using ACL2 FOR NOW WHICH IS THE ON ABOVE,so no need to worry,but my advice is you just have to know them all in case cisco changes their questions,
    my eigrp was the same as here only the ip address that changes
    my vtp was QUESTION,1,5,6,7 AND (8) but the 8 question was change to ip address which i would like guys to comment about the question says—
    Out of which ports will a frame be forwarded that has source ip-address 192.168.34.2 and destination ip-address 192.0.23.1? (Choose three) i just guess on this one.

    finaly my score was 967,my dumps were brar,sekhar,cbt neget,examcollection and above all 9tut thank u all

    Passed the Exam today.. 933/1000

    Sekhar dumps still valid..

    just encountered 3 new questions (cant remember) but all the others are still on the dumps..
    laboratories are still the same, VTP, ACL2 and EIGRP.. the details like IPs and AS are the only things that are changed..

    on VTP, got questions 1,2,4,6 and 8..
    on EIGRP, AS is 112..
    on ACL2, got the one below..

    —————————————————————————————————————
    - Host C should be able to use a web browser(HTTP)to access the Finance Web Server
    - Other types of access from host C to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
    – All access from hosts in the Core or local LAN to the Finance Web Server should be blocked
    - All hosts in the Core and local LAN should be able to access the Public Web Server *

    I ans:
    - access-list 100 permit tcp host (IP of Host C) host(IP of Finance web server) eq 80
    - access-list 100 deny ip any host (IP of Finance web server)
    - access-list 100 permit ip any any

    - interface fa0/1
    - ip access-group 100 out

    - copy running-config startup-config

    Hey guys, heralding from Australia here. I passed the CCNA exam today (870). Had EIGRP, ACL and VTP sims, but the EIGRP one here was NOT the sim I had.

    I had Maint, Eng and other routers. Really the concept was the same, misconfigured AS’ and routes were wrong. Just jumped in and added in the appropriate routes and associations came back online.

    Hi Guys,

    Recently I wrote CCNA exam.I got EIGRP,ACCESS LIST 2 AND VTP sim Labs. Some of the questions didnt come from the dumps.

    i just passed my ccna today… with 920/1000
    sims were acl 2, eigrp and vtp.. all r same as here
    and my dumbs were jericho …strongly helped me
    just last 2 weeks only i studied 9tut and sekher dumbs.
    exam was soooooo easy actually i did it in a 40 mins

    in the mcq section i faced nearly 15 switching que.. 5 routing.. 5 ip addressing.. 2 wireless.. 3 wan… 4 drag and drops and some others i cnt remember

    in examcollection.com webpage has more valid dumbs go with these notes and study hard you will get sure pass and everyone who want to do ccna in future- all the very best it is the best and nice career certification
    oh wait… ccnp? yeah i m coming

    Not sure if they will change it the second time … Any comments guys? We’ll really appreciate ur feedback since its going to be our second try… Thanks in advance! :)

    hi everyone!
    Which statement is correct regarding the operation of DHCP?

    a. If an address conflict is detected, the address is removed from the pool and an administrator must resolve the conflict.
    b. If an address conflict is detected, the address is removed from the pool for an amount of time configurable by the administrator.

    Which one is true??? At 9tut the answer is a , at Brar the answer is b. I am not sure what is right!!!

    Hi, I failed my exam today with 785 points, the questions and sims were nearly the same, VTP question 5 was different, and in EIGRP scenario I probablly messed something up, because the scenario said I should be able to ping ISP router’s interface fine from all sites, however I wasn’t able to ping 198.0.18.5 (ISP serial interface to R1) from directly connected router1, ping across all other routers worked fine, 198.0.18.5, I had a static router in place, default network and the network under router EIGRP, spent around 15min looking for solution, but unable to come up with anything, anybody has any thoughts on this?

  45. Mike
    November 6th, 2012

    @roman
    Well if there isnt a 198.0.18.5 ip address then your not going to be able to ping it in the example the s1/0 is 198.0.18.6. so i would assume that you would have your gateway of last resort set to that address along with your static route because that would be the next hop?

  46. Diego R
    November 6th, 2012

    @Roman, are u sure you were asking to ping that ip?, im taking the exam in two days, im pracitcing with the 9tut simulator on packet tracer. In the simulator i can reach 198.0.18.6 from R2,R3 and R4, but there is not answer to the ping, cause isp router doesnt know the way back. Also, can you confirm me if the heldp “?” is available? Thanks very much in advance.

    I can ping 198.0.18.6 from other routers i.e R1 serial interface but not 198.0.18.5.. Kindly help ASAP.. hAVE EXAM TOMORROW
