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
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.

    On this lab it says network 192.168.77.0, but according to the mask 255.255.255.252, it shouldnt be network 192.168.77.32?

    Hi ,
    In this Lab if we redistribute network 198.0.18.0 under EIGRP then only it is advertising without using IP default-network & Ip route. If we apply IP route without distributing EIGRP it wont work .Why??

  11. Bar
    February 24th, 2014

    my question exactly. you don’t need the default route and default network. if you add the 198.0.18.0 to router eigrp in perimeter router – you get full connectivity to the isp and other routers.

    @bar

    How do you add 198.0.18.0 on the perimeter router?

  16. Anonymous
    February 25th, 2014

    Do you add it like this?
    (Perimeter Router) enable
    configure terminal
    router eigrp 212
    network 198.0.18.0
    end
    copy running-config startup-config

    I’m a little bit confused… with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 wouldn’t the network address be 192.168.77.32? I’m a little confused as to why we are using 192.168.77.32 as the network address. Thanks

  20. City
    February 28th, 2014

    just to add to my previous comment… is it the no auto-summary command that allows us to use 192.168.77.32? If we were going to use the subnetwork address from what I understand we would use the wildcard mask?

  21. Atif
    March 4th, 2014

    my last question , configuring lab is by just to clicking the host attached to it ,
    after configuration the lab will just submit with copy run start ?
    or
    we have to do something else to submit it ?

    Dear All,

    Over here while re-configuring the R3 router the steps followed are -

    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

    But for the sake of security and things like “Query Mishap” which can tear apart the network if configured poorly, I belief the approach below is more meaningful.

    However I am worried whether it will cost my marks in the exam??
    Please share your valuable comments in this regard -

    R3#configure terminal
    R3(config)#no router eigrp 22
    R3(config)#router eigrp 212
    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.77.34 0.0.0.0 (enables only on Fa0/0)
    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.60.65 0.0.0.0 (enables only on Fa0/1)
    R3(config-router)#network 192.168.60.65 0.0.0.0 (enables only on Fa1/0)
    R3(config-router)#no auto-summary
    R3(config-router)#end
    R3#copy running-config startup-config
    ———————————————————
    R1(config)#router eigrp 212
    R1 (config-router)#network 192.168.77.33 0.0.0.0 (enables only on Fa0/0)
    R3#copy running-config startup-config

  31. SHUBHAM
    March 17th, 2014

    My question is:

    We configured:
    Int fa0/1
    ip address 192.168.60.65 255.255.255.240
    int fa1/0
    ip address 192.168.60.81 255.255.255.240

    and we configure router eigrp network is 192.168.60.0 and 192.168.70.0

    i am not geeting that our network is subnetted, and network id for fa0/1 is 192.168.64.0 and for fa1/0 is 192.168.80.0, why we configure 60.0 and 70.0 in eigrp?

  32. help me

    Hello,

    I am having 1 question in this Eigrp sim:

    In this question it has mentioned that “after adding R3 router, no routing updates are being exchanged between R3 and the new location”

    Can you please tell me, which is the new location in the diagram?

    Please reply,

    Thanks in Advance Guys..!!!

    the problem in R3 is new with A.S 212 instead 22. and about R1 it doesn’t add network 192.168.77.0 id network between R1&R3 if you did is became access R3 TO internet

    Hi All,

    I got a discount voucher from Cisco and they said I should score 75% of my exam to qualify. Does anyone know what type and how questions they ask in this exam.

    “Score at least 75 percent on your first attempt of the final exam in a qualifying course (CCNA Discovery 2 or 4, CCNA Exploration 4, or CCNA Security, CCNA Routing and Switching Essentials, or Connecting Networks)” this right here is their instructions.

    Please advise me, as i desparately need he 58% discount.

    Many thanks in advance.

    For this lab what are the questions? Is “The task is to identify the fault(s) and correct the router configuration to provide full connectivity between the routers” the only question for this lab.
    In the modifications part “A static route from R1 to ISP & “ip default-network” command in R1 are the correct answers” are answers for which questions?
    Can anyone clarify please I am really confused about this?

  45. Alaor
    April 10th, 2014

    Guys,

    I was having a problem with de default gateway, Routers, except for R1, didn’t know the default GW.
    Typed the command “redistribute static” and it workes. Default gateway got into the other routers.
    Hope this helps.

    1. ACL 1 is same.
    2. ACL 2 same but Ip Range diffrent and target Web Browser access Host B.
    3. EIGRP same but Ip Range diffrent diffrent EIGRP 23.

    ip default-network 198.0.18.0
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5

    needs to be done only on R1 or all the routers. Can somebody please answer I have exam in few days. Thank you.

  49. Muhammad Usman Anjum

    more simple method is ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s1/0 / and also use command redistribute static
