EIGRP & looping packet

BeechLiam · ‎07-21-2009

I have 2 4506E sup2+ connected with a number of vlans configured for HSRP. I changed to of the vlans subnet masks, verified the configuration on both, and now i cant ping the HSRP VIP address on both of these vlans.

When tracing & Showing ip route, to one of the physical interfaces it loops between vlans instead of displaying it as direclty connected.

Any ideas beside clearing the EIGRP.

Did you clear IP routes ?

Worst case, you may need to do a reload,

or a power cycle.

After changing the mask of the VLAN interfaces, is the hsrp address still in the subnet? Did you change the routing protocol to reflect the new mask for the subnets?

Or are there any routes/helpers that are attempting to forward to an ip address that was outside the subnet but now is inside after the mask change??

I have verified the HSRP is still in the subnet. and routes and helpers.

The EIGRP is a stub with no auto-summarize, the subnet is subnetting down to 6 vlans. but I have it advertised as a full /24. the EIGRP protocol keep trying to establish new adjacency for the vlan , stating the vlan is down but the vlan is up up.

neilobrien · ‎07-22-2009

would it be possible to post a config??

BeechLiam · ‎07-22-2009

Both vlan interface are showing as UP UP ,even though the EIGRP logs specify the vlans are down.

Hi - why do you have them configured as stubs. this is most likely your problem. Stub routers should only be "spoke" routers on the edge of a network.

The eigrp errors are telling you that EIGRP is tearing down the adjacency itself (goodbye packets). When a router is configured as a stub, it advertises a summary route, which resets the neighbours. I'd say your routers are in a little loop of sorts.

remove the stub commands and the neighbours should come up and stay up.

The 4506 switch sup + 2 only supports stub eigrp. The preferred option was to upgrade to full EIGRP. The stub command can stay, but I cleared the ip eigrp neighbors on the 4506 , which had resolved the loop issue. but I have to put a static on the Gateway router for the network as the stub looks like it wont advertise the route to the gateway for the 152.62.76.0 network.

In the meantime , I have the fix. Clearing the ip eigrp neighbors and now the route is learned as a /26 instead of a /27 as previously.

Thanks for the help folks
