We are running several remote sites connecting back to a central site using EIGRP as the routing protocol over AT&T's ASE on demand switched ethernet service. It's been mostly fine, but occasionally for 25 or 30 minutes we get a lot of flapping that seems to go away on its own. During this time, 'show ip eigrp neigh' shows lines like:
31 10.210.77.2 Vl277 13 00:00:40 1 5000 1 806
26 10.210.43.2 Vl243 13 00:00:40 1 100 0 124
20 10.210.15.2 Vl215 11 00:00:40 1 100 0 413
9 10.210.81.2 Vl281 13 00:00:40 2 1702 0 100
4 10.210.17.2 Vl217 14 00:00:40 1 5000 1 1072
29 10.210.66.2 Vl266 13 00:00:46 1 5000 1 462
25 10.210.71.2 Vl271 13 00:00:46 1 5000 1 2129
24 10.210.22.2 Vl322 14 00:00:46 17 771 1 1493
The SRTT values seem relatively OK, but the RTOs go into the thousands. Is it possible that this is packet loss, or multicast rate limiting on AT&T's part?

You correct' some issue make eigrp hello message and or update message drop.
Is eigrp run on tunnel?
ā04-11-2023 11:32 AM
No, it's not
ā04-11-2023 12:17 PM
which case you see both or one side flapping ?
ā¢ Adjacency comes up on both routers and keeps flapping (unicast issues)
ā¢ Adjacency comes up on one router and keeps flapping (multicast issues)

On the central site:
Apr 11 19:33:52.819: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: EIGRP-IPv4 1: Neighbor 10.210.66.2 (Vlan266) is down: Interface PEER-TERMINATION received
Apr 11 19:33:56.044: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: EIGRP-IPv4 1: Neighbor 10.210.66.2 (Vlan266) is up: new adjacency
on remote side:
Apr 11 19:36:17.502: %PIM-5-NBRCHG: neighbor 10.210.66.1 DOWN on interface Vlan266 non DR
Apr 11 19:36:30.967: %PIM-5-NBRCHG: neighbor 10.210.66.1 UP on interface Vlan266

Solved: Error log %PIM-5-NBRCHG: neighbor 0.0.0.0 - Cisco Community
the issue I think that the HSRP with multicast and that make neighbour UP/DOWM
ā04-11-2023 01:24 PM
We aren't really using HSRP anywhere. I was thinking about using static eigrp neighbor statements. We seem to have frequent problems with multicast over ATT
ā04-11-2023 01:25 PM
All remote sites just need access to the central site. Traffic between remote sites directly to each other isn't really needed or wanted.

ping 224.0.0.10 check the reply
if you lost some ping then sure the multicast is issue here,
the neighbour command can solve you issue the hello/update not use any multicast it will use unicast only with this command
ā04-11-2023 01:35 PM
ping 224.0.0.10 gives:
ping 244.0.0.10
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 244.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
.....
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

check again please I need 224.0.0.10 not 244.0.0.10
use ping with repeat 100 not 5. I need to see the 100% drop
ā04-11-2023 01:45 PM
Looks like you pinged 244.0.0.10 and not 224.0.0.10.
The multicast EIGRP address as @MHM Cisco Worldsaid is 224.0.0.10. What does that ping return?

Sorry about that... I knew EIGRP was 224.0.0.10, but yesterday was kind of stressful. Pinging the correct address gives a reply from each of the neighbors. The issue isn't occurring now (sometimes takes 5 or 6 weeks before recurrence).
Each of the remote sites was recently placed on a separate VLAN with just it and the central site in it. In a case like this, wouldn't static neighbor statements make sense? Our service provider has a rate limit on BUM traffic. The default limit is 2Mbps, but they have a feature to raise that slightly (30Mbps I think?). I would like to not have to worry about the limit if I could.

ip bandwidth-percent eigrp ā interface, EIGRP <<- this command will make EIGRP have specific BW even if the interface it utilize this prevent the EIGRP flapping if as you mention the ping is OK.
thanks

None of our switches seem to have this command. Our central site runs on a pair of 9500s. Remote sites are using either a 4500X pair, a 9300, or 3850.
