EIGRP route selection

keith.holder
Level 1
Level 1

Hello everyone. I have an issue where I'm unsure why one route is selected over another and can use your help.  Here's the scenario.

 

I have a 3750X stack that runs EIGRP with my WAN provider's router and my ASA.  All neighbors are on the 10.41.1.0/24 subnet.

 

I would prefer that routes learned from my ASA be installed in the route table of the 3750x.

 

Here is the route learned from my ASA (10.41.1.252).

MDF_SW01#sho ip eigrp topology 10.0.0.0/8
EIGRP-IPv4 Topology Entry for AS(99)/ID(10.41.99.1) for 10.0.0.0/8
  State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is 3072
  Descriptor Blocks:
  10.41.1.252 (Vlan101), from 10.41.1.252, Send flag is 0x0
      Composite metric is (3072/2560), route is External
      Vector metric:
        Minimum bandwidth is 1000000 Kbit
        Total delay is 20 microseconds
        Reliability is 255/255
        Load is 1/255
        Minimum MTU is 1500
        Hop count is 1
      External data:
        Originating router is 65.41.39.48  
        AS number of route is 0
        External protocol is Static, external metric is 0
        Administrator tag is 0 (0x00000000)
MACT_MDF_SW01#

 

 

Once I plug in the LAN interface from the WAN router (10.41.1.249), the route it passes to my 3750x becomes the preferred route for 10.0.0.0/8.  see below.

 

 

MDF_SW01#sho ip eigrp topology 10.0.0.0/8
EIGRP-IPv4 Topology Entry for AS(99)/ID(10.41.99.1) for 10.0.0.0/8
  State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is 1711872
  Descriptor Blocks:
  10.41.1.249 (Vlan101), from 10.41.1.249, Send flag is 0x0
      Composite metric is (1711872/1711616), route is External
      Vector metric:
        Minimum bandwidth is 1500 Kbit
        Total delay is 210 microseconds
        Reliability is 255/255
        Load is 1/255
        Minimum MTU is 1500
        Hop count is 1
      External data:
        Originating router is 192.168.2.2  
        AS number of route is 65000
        External protocol is BGP, external metric is 0
        Administrator tag is 15270 (0x00003BA6)
MACT_MDF_SW01#

 

 

It appears that the metrics from 10.41.1.252 are better than than 10.41.1.249, but the route from 10.41.1.249 is what the 3750x is choosing.  I'm stumped and could use some help figuring this out.  Thanks.

For some reason the ASA is no longer advertising it's EIGRP route for 10.0.0.0/8 to the 3750x once it receives the route from your router

What does the IP routing table look like on the ASA ie. specifically the 10.0.0.0/8 network ?

Can you post a "sh ip eigrp topology all-links 10.0.0.0/8" from both the ASA and the 3750x.

Jon

Thanks Jon. I couldn't get the output to filter just 10.0.0.0/8 so I provided the entire output.

Here's the output from the ASA.

Thanks Jon.  Sometimes, you just need someone to remind you how you configured things. :).  Here's what happened.  I'm running IP SLA on ASA to automatically redistribute static routes for L2L IPsec.  What I did, though was set the AD on the routes to 200.  Since the WAN router sends the eigrp external AD of 170, then those were installed in the ASA's route table and no longer redistributed the static.

I appreciate your help.  Thank you.

Keith

 

Here's the output you requested along with my static route config from the ASA.

No problem and makes perfect sense.

Glad you got it sorted.
