Solved: EIGRP: Active QUERY and distribution-list filters

Konstantin Dunaev · ‎01-18-2008

Hi,

let say we have 3 routers

(many networks)-R1---R2---R3

all have EIGRP, R1 anounce all networks to R2, R2 has "distribute-list out" configured and announce only some networks to R3.

If the link between R1 and R2 goes down then R2 will go Active and will send QUREY message to R3.

Question is, for which netwoks will be send the QUERY message? for all networks or only for subset, which defined by "distribute-list out"? Has "distribute-list out" any impact or influence on the QUERY's?

Hi Konstantin

Already had EIGRP setup in lab for something else so did a quick test

R1 -> R2 -> R3

R1 advertises to R2 the following subnets

192.168.22.0

172.16.31.0

172.16.32.0

R2 has the following distribute list on the interface to R3

router eigrp 1

distribute-list 1 out FastEthernet0/0

access-list 1 deny 172.16.32.0

access-list 1 deny 172.16.31.0

access-list 1 permit any

Comfirmed that R3 only received the 192.168.22.0/24 subnet.

Then i shutdown the link between R1 & R2 and ran "debug eigrp fsm" on R3

As you can see R2 still sends queries for 172.16.31.0/24 and 172.16.32.0/24 even though it is filtering these from R1.
