Null route advertized over EIGRP

s.kanth
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All,

Topology : R1 --P2P(EIGRP)--- R2 ---MPLS(BGP)---R3

We had a strange issue yesterday, Null router was added in R1 router for below network

<<<ip route 10.25.1.100 255.255.255.255 null0>>

This null route got advertized to R2 and from R2 to R3 . we have EIGRP-BGP redistribution on R3.

Doubts :

1. why null router got advertized to R2 ,though there was no registribution configured on R1.
2. it might got advertized to R2 ,because we have network state 10.0.0.0/8 on R1. due to which it got advertize.. why ?

Please help me how it got advertized to R2.

 

Thanks

- Sri

Hello

You are correct about you assumption -

The host route to null  and the advertised network are in the same subnet range, so this WILL be advertised to its eigrp peer of R2.

Hi Paul,

So "NULL" route got advertized ,because it matches with network statement...
