Solved: EIGRP - FD is inaccessible when re-distribution

mguzman4158 · ‎06-27-2010

Hello all,

FW-----OSPF--->L3switch----redistribute--OSPF into EIGRP ----->WAN router---->dist BGP

The firewall is advertising 10.10.10.1/32 to my l3 switch via ospf, then I want to redistribute that route to my wan router via eigrp 1. WAN router is not seeing the route, if I do a "show ip eigrp top | i 10. in my l3 switch I get the following"

P 10.10.10.2/32, 0 successors, FD is Inaccessible

show ip roure ospf

O E1 10.10.10.2 [110/2] via firewall, 05:32:36, Vlanxx

router eigrp 1
redistribute static
redistribute eigrp 2 metric 128 23000 255 1 1500 route-map WDSin
redistribute ospf 1 metric 100 1 255 1 1500 route-map DMZin

I don't understand why my l3 switch is showing FD inaccessible and not redistributing the route to my wan router.

Thank you very much in advance for any imput.....

Cheers!

Hi,

The 10.10.10.2 is known by OSPF which has an admin of 110 once it is redistributed in to EIGRP it becomes on external EIGRP route which has an admin distance of 170. So the route is still known by OSPF since it has a lower AD. Try manipulating EIGRP external admin distance to some thing lower the 110 and test again.

It could be that the DMZin route-map is filtering this route. Could you post its configuration and check please?

Hello Mguzman4158,

the firewall injects an OSPF O E1 external route in OSPF domain not an internal route.

In order to redistribute it from OSPF into EIGRP you need to specify route-type external1 in the redistribution command

By default only internal OSPF routes ( O or O IA ) are redistributed into another protocol

Hope to help

It looks like there are two things going on here:

1. 10.10.10.2/32 shows up with an FD inaccessible on your L3 switch

2. 10.10.10.2/32 is not received on your wan router

These could have different root causes.

I have recreated the topology you presented and tested the following:

R1-s1/0-[OSPF]-s1/0-R2-s1/1-[EIGRP]-s1/0-R3

R2 is receiving an ospf e1 route of 10.10.10.10/32 from R1 and redistributing it into EIGRP towards R3:

R2#sh ip ro ospf

10.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E1 10.10.10.10 [110/2] via 172.16.12.1, 00:00:08, Serial1/0

R2#

R2#sh ip ro 10.10.10.10

So in short, I don't see a problem here. Could you post some more details of your topology and configs?

I've attached my configs for this scenario (sorry for any non-relevant config that I left in there).
