Discontiguous networks still advertised ?

stevec90

Level 1

I have a network with 4 routers all running EIGRP. I added 2 discontiguous networks, and EIGRP is distributing those networks as valid routes. It was my understanding that the only way this is supposed to work is if auto-summary is disabled. What am I overlooking? I have run no auto-summary on all the routers but the discontiguous network is still being distributed in all routing tables. (?)

Summary or no auto-summary will make no difference with 192.168.x.0/24 networks because there is no summarising to be done on these networks ie. they are class C networks anyway. Summarisation happens on classful boundaries but 192.168.32.0/24 and 192.168.33.0/24 are classful ie. class C networks.

If you want to test try using 172.16.x.0/24 networks because this is a class B network ie. 172.16.0.0/16.
