Hi all,

i have two routers on same network

Router 2650 config

router eigrp 50
network 192.168.1.0
auto-summary

2650xm#            sh ip eigrp nei

2620Router#

As shown above on 2620 routers routing table it is not showing D eigrp only showing static ?

any idea why it is like this?

i know in ospf and rip we can use default info originate from main router which option can we use on 2650 core router so router 2620 learn routes by

eigrp?

many thanks

You will only see D routes with EIGRP if the 2650 is advertising those routes and this does not include the directly connected networks.

Do this on 2650

int loopback 10

ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

router eigrp 1

network 192.168.5.0

you should then see this as an EIGRP route on the 2620.

Hello Mahesh,

as Jon has noted you need to advertise some other IP subnet in order to see EIGRP updates exchanged and EIGRP routes installed in the routing table.

The use of loopback interfaces is very handy for this kind of things allowing to emulate several remote networks

Probably the two are not even sending out an EIGRP update in current scenario, but they just exchange EIGRP hello messages and they have become neighbors.

Edit:

>> P which is passive do you why it do not show them as Active??

passive in good news, Active would be bad news it would mean the router is trying to find an alternate path and has started a Query process.

passive state is the correct one

Hope to help

Hi Jon,

thanks for reply i did that and now i see D in routing table of 2620

2620Router#sh ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

C    2.0.0.0/8 is directly connected, Loopback0
D    192.168.5.0/24 [90/156160] via 192.168.1.1, 00:02:29, FastEthernet0/0**********************
C    192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
2620Router#

but when i ran command below it shows 2 networks and both as
P which is passive do you why it do not show them as Active??

2620Router#sh ip eigrp topology
IP-EIGRP Topology Table for AS(50)/ID(2.2.2.2)

Codes: P - Passive, A - Active, U - Update, Q - Query, R - Reply,
