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.

    passed with score of 1000.
    labs: eigrp, acl, acl2- mod3 (host A)

    go through 9tut and actual tests.
    practicing from watson and doing labs on packet tracer will help a lot.

    He guys,
    please in exam it’s possible to ping ISP router ?
    if the R1 does not have a default route toward the ISP router What do I do now ?
    Please answer me, I planned my exam on 17th Sept

    Thanks a lot.

  7. ben
    September 14th, 2014

    I have the same question as ramos, do we have to configure the static route?
    ip default-network 198.0.18.0
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5

    In the sim you provide on this page, the configuration of the static route is not present.

    Thanks

    September 14th, 2014

    please help!!

    1) I have heard that in real exam, access to the router CLI cannot be gained by clicking on it?
    like we do in packet tracer (we enter all commands by clicking on the router & getting access to the CLI)
    is this the same procedure in exam or different to enter commands?

    2) when I enter ” copy running-config startup-config ” this command on packet tracer it asks this.
    ” Destination filename [startup-config]? ”
    what should i enter after that?

    @hamza

    1) u can access the CLI by clicking appropriate host (which have console connection to the router)
    ex:click the host G to access R1 CLI, and host F to access R3 CLI

    2)it ask for the file name that u want to save the running conf, inside the bracket it display the default file name [startup-config], u no need to type any thing JUST PRESS ENTER.

    @nux
    Tell me, in the running-config file from R1, there is a default route or the ip default-network toward the ISP Router in real exam ?
    Please answer me, I planning my exam tomorrow.

    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5
    !

    Dears ,
    I think if we configure static route its adminstrative distance is 1 , but EIGRP is 90 . So , here will work just static route . could anyone explain this side of the issue ?

    @9tut…Thanks so much from LA. Passed with a 917. Most of material on this website was in the exam. I would say 90%. My labs were ACL 1 & 2, and EIGRP. The EIGRP lab layout was a little different then the one here. The AS’s were still 212 and 22. In order to configure the router that needed the AS changed you had to log in from a host that was directly connected to that router. I was not able to telnet. Also i didn’t need to configure the gateway, static route, or passive interface.

    September 30th, 2014

    3 sims from 9tut EIGRP,ACL1 and 2 – only IP addresses and AS changed to 112.
    @Hussein – the 2 additional sims are simple OSPF and EIGRP adjacency troubleshooting.
    - All of the questions are listed here in 9tut!

  48. shashi
    September 30th, 2014

    Can you please explain what type of question is being asked for OSPF and EIGRP adjacency troubleshotting have been added.Can you give me detailed explanation.I have exam scheduled for tomorrow.

    Please pleas

  49. rohit

    I have heard that new simulation of EIGRP and OSPF adjacency troubleshooting have been added recently.Can you tell where i can get that question.I have exam scheduled this week.
