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 my exam on 6th August..Labs were ACL2,VTP and EIGRP. My Router on the EIGRP Lab did not have a wrong AS number..It wasnt configured at all so I had to configure eigrp on it and advertise the networks..The addresses were different but same concept. Had about 3 new questions but the others were from this dump http://www.examcollection.com/cisco/Cisco.Acme.640-802.v2011-07-09.by.Collisio.486q.vce.file.html
    Big thanks to 9tut for the Labs …

    use this dump for multiple choice questions,then 9tut.com for sims

    for my eigrp sim R1 had a network address not configured on any interface of the router .so
    u need to remove the network address.and then add the route to R2 .on R2 the AS is wrong so u change it then add the route to R1 then save config.

    i will really advice to check each routers one @ a time then correct any wrong config.
    best of luck .guys

    Hi all…

    I need to know something about simulator used in exam…
    can i use ‘?’ and ‘tab ‘ for command help????
    can i leave questions unanswered and review them after attempting other questions???

  12. SrkyBoy
    August 11th, 2011

    @ Vinod

    You cannot use ? for command help.
    You cannot review questions. You get one question per page and you cannot turn back.

    Hi all, i need an information, i heard from many ppl that they have the same problem during the exam and they can’t reach the isp with pings, and as far as i can see no one ever solved this problem, will you get still 100% from not reaching the isp or someone has found an answer to this problem?

    Please help, someone who’s done the exam and got 100% on eigrp maybe could confirm?

    I PASSED MY CCNA YESTERDAY 11/08/2011 WITH 986

    A very big thanks to 9tut
    All my sims (EIGRP, VTP and ACL-2) where from 9tut.com and 95% of my multichoice questions where from
    Cisco.Acme.640-802.v2011-07-09.by.collisio.486q.vce from http://www.examcollection.com.

    I will like to point out a few things about the sims
    ACCESS LIST:
    i was asked to

    Allow only HOST D web access to the Finance Web Server
    Block all other traffic to Finance web server from Host D
    All other traffic from devices in the CORE and LAN to the Public Server should be permitted.
    Host D: 192.168.30.4 Finance Web server: 172.22.22.17 Public Server: 172.22.22.18

    My answer was;

    Access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.30.4 host 172.22.22.17 eq 80
    Access-list 100 deny ip any host 172.22.22.17
    Access-list 100 permit ip any any

    I scored 100% in my sims with ths answer.

    FOR EIGRP SIM:

    The AS number of the new routerwas wrong (22) and the subnet connecting it to the
    main router was not advertised on either of the routers. The AS on the other routers is 221
    So i changed it and advertised the subnet on both routers.
    On the main router, there was a network which cannot be found on the other routers, so i
    removed it. Passive-interface was also configured on the link to ISP, please leave it alone
    and don’t try to ping the ISP cos that is not your task.

    I’m willing to help anyone who needs my help cos other people did same for me too on this site.

    FOR VTP
    Switch SWX (the new Switch) had a lower Revision configuration value than Switch SW-Ac3.
    So my answer was C for Question 7 above.

    Please pay attention to the sims on this site and make sure you study to know the
    concepts too.

    THANKS ONCE MORE TO 9TUT, YOU’RE THE BEST!!!

    Is the EIGRP SIM similar to the one on this website (9tut.com)? And is there any new multiple questions on the exam?

    Thanks!

    @9tut

    In Eigrp sim, dont we have to remove ISP network as it not required to learn about eigrp? Last time I didnt remove it n I didnt get 100%. But i able to ping with all host with each other..

    pls solve it to me.. tnx

    @9tut,
    If “ip default-network 198.0.18.0″ and “ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 198.0.18.5″ these two commands are not configured in R1 then what we need to do?

    I dont follow the passive interface part? First you say if we see it we need to remove it, then you say you have seen the comments and it is there so just leave it?

  30. mkultra
    August 26th, 2011

    @LK
    I also concur that you don’t need to include network 198.0.18.0 in eigrp’s statement because the static route to the ISP takes care of that. I’m taking the test tomorrow the 26th. So I’ll let you know if that worked or not.

  31. michael
    August 26th, 2011

    pls do i need to include the ” interface Fa0/1 and ip access-group 100 out ” even when i was told to use only 3 statement? pls some one in house help. thanks

  32. sim
    August 26th, 2011

    why:

    router eigrp 212
    network 192.168.36.0
    network 192.168.60.0
    network 198.0.18.0
    network 192.168.77.0
    no auto-summary

    AND NOT

    router eigrp 212
    network 192.168.36.0 0.0.0.255
    network 192.168.60.0 0.0.0.255
    network 198.0.18.0 0.0.0.255
    network 192.168.77.0 0.0.0.255
    no auto-summary

  33. xallax
    August 26th, 2011

    @sim
    because those are class C IPs and EIGRP can use the classfull number just like RIP

    @Michael
    In order for it to work, you have to apply to the interface. Been Extended, should be the closets and “in”. Anyone else agree?

    hello
    yesterday i passed ccna exam.. in my eigrp sim there was a passive interface link between R1 and ISP router. so i didn’t changed it.. thanks 9tut.com thanks alot….

  41. config
    August 30th, 2011

    I wrote my ccna exam on 26th Friday and no luck. I had Eigrp lab, whereby the new router was having different AS number compared to other routers. I changed the AS to match other routers but still there was no adjacency formed. no neighbours discovered. what was the problem?

  42. xallax
    August 30th, 2011

    did you advertise the networks after configuring the AS?

  43. DimS
    August 31st, 2011

    To config:
    Did you add a new network in the EIGRP configuration for R1 router? You had to change the AS number for R3 and add new network (between R1 and R3) to configuration for R1.

  44. Claudio from Chile
    September 1st, 2011

    In the my exam problem was connect to Internet.
    Remote router couldn´t connect to Internet, so i put AS and networks correctly. Also should i put default-information originate command at end line?
    Help me please!!!

  45. Sim
    September 2nd, 2011

    “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).”

    Why not default-information originate?

  46. Sim
    September 2nd, 2011

    Nevermind. no default-ingormation originte in EIGRP.

  47. config
    September 3rd, 2011

    To Xallax and Dims: I’m not going to lie, after changing the AS, I could see these networks under the AS. I just thought there is no need to add those networks again. noted, next time I will put the networks again if I will be getting EIGRP again.

  48. Nishanth
    September 6th, 2011

    After Changing AS numbers and Adding Network
    Should i compulsory need to add an Passive interface/ Establish a static route ?
    some one please help me
