Understanding the ‘EIGRP Topology’ router B# show ip eigrp topology IP-EIGRP topology entry for /16 State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is Routing Descriptor Blocks: (Serial1), from , Send flag is 0x0 Composite metric is ( / ), Route is External Vector metric: Minimum bandwidth is 1544 Kbit Total delay is microseconds Reliability is 255/255 Load is 1/255 Minimum MTU is 1500 Hop count is 7 External data: Originating router is AS number of routes is 0 External protocol is OSPF, external metric is 64 Administrator tag is 0

EIGRP Caveats: 1.auto-summary Enabled/Disabled? 2.Redistribution metric into EIGRP MUST be specified 3.Routes advertised to a neighbor 1.Only if EIGRP in Routing Table 2.Only the best routes / / / /24 Discontiguous Classful Boundary

Cisco Confidential 19 © Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Common Caveats: Summary LSA is not summarisation. Distribute-list out doesn’t work. Checking the LSA in the wrong database (checking intra-area route in show ip ospf database)
Cisco Confidential 20 © Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Other issues: 2-way with all the neighbors (no DR) Not full will all the neighbors expected, DR-BDR are full with all the neighbors. DROthers are only full with DR-BDR Advertising router is not reachable (not pingable) could be expected if RID is not advertised. - RID is just a name.
Thank you.
