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.

    Network users are complaining that they cannot access resources on the LAN attached to interface e0 ofthe Production router. Which of the following commands will display current IP addressing and the Layer 1 and Layer 2 status of this interface? (Choose three.)

    A.
    Production# show version

    B.
    Production# show protocols

    C.
    Production# show interfaces

    D.
    Production# show controllers

    E.
    Production# show ip interface

    F.
    Production# show startup-config

    Some say answer is BDE and some say is CDE ????
    which one is true

    Just answered my own question. Since this is discontiguous network, no auto-summary will make sure it is not summarized at class C (/24).

  3. Arison
    April 30th, 2013

    OK for Case 2 I think I got it! the reason why network 192.168.66.0 is applied to R1 is because it’s directly connected to Fa0/0 so it will learn network 192.168.48.0 because R3 is already sharing the information for there LAN network.

    Thanks God i just passed my ccna today with 854. umm EIGRP lab was there same as here but the R1 show running config didn’t have the 2 networks you are seeing here.

    Passed today 907/1000

    EIGRP lab: They put router eigrp 221 instead of 212

    Also no router eigrp 221 will not work. Will get error message “Command not implemented in the sim”.

    Hi guys I need your help, on the lab there is a link that says you can download this sim to practice on lab. when I click on the link it doesn’t open. Can anyone tell me how to open the lap so I could practice and pass the CCNA test. Thanks in advance!! you could also email me at ahsan25@gmail.com I really need help with laps.

    Passed today with 933/1000. What a relief and weight off my shoulders. Just finished the boot camp for CCNA. Studied Sekar, read the book by (lamlle) cover to cover, and 9tut. My advise to all taking exam soon. Read the book, take a course. People just study Sekar and think they know CCNA, you don’t. Trust me, it will benifit you in the long run.

    Failed 640-822 today, 762. I think I got unlucky with the Sims and drag and drop. None of the 3 sims here were on there and of all the drag and drops that I went through… only ONE was published of the FOUR that was on there. I have never seen the other three in my life. If anyone has updated drag and drop or sims please email at don_powell3@yahoo.com

    In the exam are you suppose to be able to ping the ISP? I could not get it to work? EIGRP seems easy here but, in the exam it does not behave like it does in the real world. Anyone else have these problems or know the solutions??? Thanks!!!

    Can you tell me what version of PT we need for this Tut? I have 5.3 but it says doesnt have the correct version

    Any Help appreciated :)

    Thanks

    GSD, I had the same issue with not being able to ping the ISP. After fixing all EIRGP errors, I could not even get R1 to ping to ISP, even though I was able to ping freely in between all other routers. The only thing that would make sense would be that the cable was shutdown or the interfaces were inacurrately configured, as the issue was even from R1 to ISP. All other settings such as passive-interface or default network settings I believe were correct. Ideas?

    Thank you 9tut, today I passed with a great mark, a lots of question from this site. simulation was eigrp, VTP and access list. I got a problem on VTP to find the neighbour which sent the vlan information, #show VTP status did not show the ip of the vtp server!

  32. PK

    Hi Darren,
    You need PT version 5.3.3 which is latest

    Question to anyone who’s failed the CCNA 640-802 at the end does it tell you what you got wrong or what areas you are weak on?

  40. Rauf
    May 14th, 2013

    @Kyle – right after the exam you will be given you score card indicating your score in each like IP services, IP routing technologies etc but it does not tell you which questions you did not answer corretly
