Hi
I am having a problem with a normal EIGRP routing configuration.
Router A
router eigrp 100
redistribute static
network 10.1.0.0 0.0.255.255
network 10.250.1.1 0.0.0.0
network 10.250.1.8 0.0.0.7
network 10.250.1.16 0.0.0.7
network 10.250.2.8 0.0.0.7
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.127
no default-information in
auto-summary
!
ip classless
Router B
router eigrp 100
redistribute static
network 10.2.1.0 0.0.0.255
network 10.250.1.16 0.0.0.7
network 10.250.2.1 0.0.0.0
network 10.250.2.8 0.0.0.7
network 10.250.2.16 0.0.0.7
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.127
no default-information in
auto-summary
!
ip classless
The 10.250.x.x IPs are the device interconnect IPs of 8 bit, connection to other devices and LAN. The 192.168.1.x is the subnet for WAN (Actually LAN, a VPLS network) addressing.
The LAN/VPLS connection between 192.168.1.x network is up, I can see both router as EIGRP neighbors but they don't exchange any routes. There are no routes learned from EIGRP in the routing table.
If I assign 10.250.1.x IP to the same interfaces of both routers then I see neighbors and can see learned routes in the routing table. Everything works very well when 10.250.1.x IP is used on both ends but for same physical interface/link they don't learn any routes if 192.168.1.x IP is used. What could be the reason?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks for the additional information. Based on this I believe that your problem is that auto-summary is configured. Your network appears to have discontiguous subnets when the VLAN 980 is configured with the 192.168.1 addresses (some subnets on 10.0.0.0 on routerA separated from subnets of 10.0.0.0 on routerB by the 192.168.1 network). And discontiguous subnets are a problem when auto-summary is configured. When you configure VLAN 980 with network 10.250.1 then it is contiguous and the subnets are learned. If you configure no auto-summary on both routers then they should work ok with the 192.168.1 addresses.

Is it possible that the interfaces are configured with secondary addresses?
If not please provide more information about the interfaces and how they are configured.

This is the IP addressing that is working right now, EIGRP is learning routes when 10.250.1.17 and 18 with 29 bit mask IP used for VLAN 980. 980 Vlan is the VPLS network. If I use 192.168.1.x/24 on both ends for 980 vlan EIGRP doesn't learn any routes, just shows neighbors.
Loop back and tunnel interfaces are for GRE as backup link, it works very well. the bandwidth on interface will determine the best path either GRE or VPLS, vlan 980 is of higher BW.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
Thats what I was thinking of, auto-summery creating this problem. I will try it today.
Thanks

Thanks,
It was the auto-summery causing this problem.

Thanks for posting back to the forum and confirming that it was the auto-summary that was causing the problem. It helps the forum when a problem is described and a solution is suggested and it is confirmed that the solution did solve the problem.

Yes, That is true. I am giving you points for this :)
