We have currently only been using static routes. I am now trying to setup EIGRP routing. When I first enabled eigrp 100 I had the network statement 10.0.0.0 with no redistribute commands, but once I noticed the rstatic routes in the topology table I got confused. I then added the network statement 10.2.0.0 0.0.255.255 and removed 10.0.0.0. I have also added the redistribute static command. After adding that command I showed all 9 static routes as rstatic, as expected. Then I did a no redistribute static and still have 4 rstatics. All static routes were here before I enabled eigrp. I am also perplexed as to why it chose to only redistribute 4 of them, or any at all for that matter. I dont want to reboot right now, but maybe that will fix it.

The additional information does help some. Especially knowing that at one point there was a network statement in the config and a redistribute command. One thing about static routes that point to an outbound interface. If the interface that they point to does match a network statement then the routing protocol will pick up those routes in the protocol without an explicit redistribute statement. And then you had a redistribute statement. So there are logical explanations for how the entries got into the table. The puzzle now is that when you removed those statements only some of the entries were removed from the table.

That is a puzzle and I would like to know the explanation. But my advice to you is to not worry much about this. When you get to a stable config for EIGRP the correct entries will be in the table and when you form neighbor relationships the correct entries will be advertised. In the meantime the failure to remove a couple of entries when the statements were removed from the config should not impact how your router runs.

Those statements being there were really bugging me, so I removed eigrp and reenabled it. Now my eigrp topology looks like I expect it to.

Router#sh ip eigrp top

Removing and replacing the EIGRP config was an effective way to start over.

Congratulations. Now you are off to a good start.
