routing loop help!

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

I have a routing loop.

tracert 10.121.62.1 which is the offsit location, loops between two routers here on the main site.

when I try to ping a known IP, I get a TTL expired on transit.

I phoned our provider, everything is set on their end. nothing has changed on either routers. what else could be the cause?

Hi,

Routing loops could be due to misconfiguration or due to any link flap or any problem with the routing protocols enroute in the network.

Do you have access to the hops that you see in the tracert.

If so, login to those 2 hops which are looping, and check the output of "show ip route ".

This will give you a clue on what is wrong with the current routing setup on those hops.

Yes I do,

I see there is no routing for 10.121.62.1

Subnet not in table.

How do I put this subnet in the table? My other site is D-EIGRP dynamically learned.

Why is this other site not learning it the same way?

do you have any redistribution configured on your router?

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

If you mean by I assign a static IP for redistributing any IP's under this subnet, then yes I do, back to my core router which loops back to the router that talks to the offsite.

We have a PPP connection w/ serial int.

devang_etcom · ‎08-28-2006

if you have configured redistribution then make sure you have configure it properly... may be due to missconfiguration of redistribution causes most of the routing loop problem... so will you please post the topology with configuration so we can try to solve it ...

rate this post if it helps

regards

"ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.121.26.255"

You are pointing the default route to a broadcast address.

It's this part of your current config or a typo while posting the config ?

Lamar,

The subnet will automatically return to the routing table as soon as EIGRP

is working again between the 2 routers.

If you issue

"sh ip eigrp neighbors detail"

do you see any neighbors listed ? If so, it's that neighbor holding the 10.121.62.0 network ?

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

No I do not. I called the provider again and they said their end is clean and see no response from the CSU

What does this mean?

Edison Ortiz · ‎08-28-2006

The provider should be able to loop the CSU from remote, if they can't try resetting the CSU.

You should work closely with your telco on this problem since it can also be a hardware issue at the telco end or your end.

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

I have, they have already replaced some double loop circuit board on both ends. Now they are able to have a clean connection so they say, but still unable to hit the CSU.

You suggest I try to reset the CSU? There is an amber light on the serial interface card that is lighted up (AL) or (AC), I forgot the abbreviation for it.

What does this mean?

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

It is an AL light, for Alarm. We have already tried rebooting, and doing shut, no shut on the interface. Still no luck. Can we assume this card is bad now?

Edison Ortiz · ‎08-28-2006

Don't assume that just yet. Check cabling from the Dmark to CSU and tell the provider that you have an alarm. They should dispatch someone onsite. If you have a spare CSU try swapping for troubleshooting purposes.

It's an internal or external CSU ?

soklamarhy · ‎08-28-2006

It is an internal CSU.

We are already ordering a new unit $400 bucks.

I have been working with our provider and they are still unable to hit the CSU unit.
