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.

    hey guys…

    I read here alot of comments about this lab.. aside from the fact that instead of AS 212 can be 221.. what are the other changes to be aware of? i am training myself to do the exact configuration as it is here in pink color.. am I missing something? Please help

    Hello everybody,
    Elhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah), Allah’a şükürler olsun (Thanks to Allah ) I passed the CCNA exam on the 22/April/2015. I want to provide some advice for the exam. First of all, WATSON, EXAMTUT, 9tut questions are correct. This dumps are valid.

    1- There was total 51 questions. {2 simulations(EIGRP, ACL2 Modification1), 1 simlet (CCNA Access List Sim- ACL1), There was no drog and drop}

    2- There are some small changes in questions. For example, place of answers are different. IP address can be different in simulation questions. AS numbers can be different. Pay attention to them.

    3- There was a new question about Etherchannel.

    Please forgive me for my bad English. I wish you success.

    Hi @nickson,

    You can look at the exam preparation sites (like as examcollction)… If you ask about the question of EtherChannel, I saw that question on the exam first time.

    Hi Guys and Gals,

    I have taken CCNA 200-120 on 12th May 2015 in Penang. The SIMs that I got were ACL, ACL2 MOD3 and EIGRP 212(mine was AS 222).

    Got 1000/1000. Just study and go through all the questions and SIMs in 9tut and you will surely pass.

    hey guys… I did my CCNA 200-120 on the 9th of may.. i passed, though i messed up with the EIGRP sim.. i had a problem, i tried to enter the “CONFIG T” command but the router keep telling me that it is blocked… please have any one experience it before and what might be the cause of it.

    i guys
    i pass in my exame today 14/05/2015 with 1000/1000 this lab eigrp was there yes. but mine was eigrp 23 ( the wrong AS entered in the Home2 was 22.)

  20. J@v-US

    Question, the lab says: “Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host”. Does this mean we have to connect to the router in question through a serial connection from the Hosts or using something like putty? Or we can open the terminal directly by clicking on the Router?

    hi guys. I tried to troubleshoot the eigrp by changing the as number. I followed the commands but still my ping is unsuccessful with the other routers. can any one help me guys?

    Most of the questions came from 9tut. Given below is one of the new question.

    Q-Two routers named Atlanta and Brevard are connected via their serial interfaces as illustrated, but they are unable to communicate. The Atlanta router is known to have the correct configuration.

    Given the partial configurations, identify the fault on the Brevard router that is causing the lack of connectivity.

    A. incompatible IP address
    B. insufficient bandwidth
    C. incorrect subnet mask
    D. incompatible encapsulation
    E. link reliability too low
    F. IPCP closed

    Answer: D

    Just passed CCNA 200-120 today with score 986/1000. This sim was on the test with AS number 112. R1 was missing network statement, and R4 had different AS configured (22).
    One warning, R3 did not have startup-configuration saved in NVRAM. Check all the routers for startup-configurations in nvram and don’t forget to save running->startup.

    Alhamdulillah!
    Just passed my CCNA 200-120 1000/1000.
    Labs were ACL, ACL 2 (Mod 3) and EIGRP without no passive interface or default route configuration to do.
    All questions were Easy and nothing new.
