eigrp question

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have a question about eigrp routing:</p>

<p>the Vlan interfaces 12 ( Network 192.168.12.0/24)  and VLAN Interface 16 (Network 192.168.16.0/24 ) are configured on the same switch. If  I set the command "sh ip route" from a other switch in the network I see different  hops count ( to the network 192.168.16.0 only 2 hops  but the Network 192.168.12.0 a higher hop 7) .  Please Help.</p>

<p>msfc1#sh ip route 192.168.12.0<br />

Not enough information but according to your output, 192.168.22.149 is where you learned that route.  How is 192.168.22.149 learning the route to 192.168.12.0. 

Hi,

I paste a Network draft, maybe is simple to understanding.

Hello Noureddine,

your architecture is a ring topology.

From your outputs in first post:

one subnet is learned via vlan 4001 that is the shortest path to core L3 switch.

the other subnet is instead learned via Vlan 4002 and makes all the trip around the ring towards the core switch thorough all the other L3 switches.

For this reason its metric is higher and also its hop count: if you look at the picture 7 hops are required going via vlan 4002 to reach core switch.

To understand why this happens you need to examine EIGRP configuration of core router and of router (L3 switch) between the device in blue and the core switch.

Check to see if there are distribute-list applied inside the

router eigrp process

on core or on device with next hop in vlan 4001:

or core is not advertising the prefix to device with next hop in vlan 4001 or it is the second device to have a filter.

Another possibility is the usage of

offset-list again check the configuration of eigrp processes on

core and device with next-hop in vlan 4001.

if you like you can post the configuration of eigrp processes on the three devices.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi,

thank you for your help. I think I found the mistake

the Core switch don't annouce the network 192.168.12.0 as direct connected.

A nother switch core2 annouce the network 192.168.12.0 an direct connected

msfccore1#sh ip eigrp topology 192.168.12.0

Hello Noureddine,

yes there was a missing network command under router eigrp in mdfccore1.

Good news you have solved your issue
