Trouble with eigrp summarization for my exam

Studying for ensari.

 

I am having trouble not having eigrp suppeessing the more specific advertisements after configuring summarization on the interfaces, it is advertizing the more specific routes.

 

When I specify summary address in traditional eigrp mode it suppresses the more specific routes, when I do the same thing in named mode it advertises the more specific routes. i want to know if this is default behavior for named mode or something wrong in my configuration.

In below router Fenix is using traditional eigrp and only advertising summary route, whereas Santiago is using named mode and advertising summary only.

I specify on each interface:

ip summary-address eigrp 1 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0

 

And this is the routing table of other routers:

Here is router Santiago which advertises everything, the summary, and more specific routes:

interface Loopback0

interface Loopback1
ip address 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0

here I specify on each interface:

ip summary-address eigrp 1 10.0.0.0 255.255.248.0

and the other router's routing tables:

And I just noticed that there is actually no summary route being advertised so it seems like a configuration issue.  Any 1 have any thoughts to where I could summarize this properly in named mode?

 found the culprit.

 

The GNS3 router image I am using does no have sthe "summary-address" command under af-interface default for named EIGRP. This was one of the first things I checked, I didn't find the command, and I racked my brains afterwards.

Are you sure. I believe it would need to be a really old or really bad image to not have that command. If that's the case I would suggest using more up to date images in your lab if you want the best hands on experience, or else you will think something is a bug or not configurable (or spend hours on an issues that isn't an issue).

 

2 things:

1. I am running the below version

Router#sh ver

Boson Operating Simulation Software
BOSS (tm) C3600 Software (C3600-Enterprise), Version 15.b, RELEASE SOFTWARE
Copyright (c) 1998-2023 by Boson Software, Inc.

and it has the command

2. When you configure EIGRP named mode all interface commands under the actual interface for EIGRP become obsolete and do NOT work. You need to go into the Named mode structure and either under af-interface default or a specific af-interface you can configure the summary address and other interface specific commands. Note that the command starts with summary address and not the typical ip summary-address.

Studying for ENARSI make sure you have good reliable images and equipment to be successful in your studies. 

Good luck!

It was my configuration, I couldn't apply summary-address to af-interface default...

 

however I could apply it to af-interface e0/0

 

I looked for the thread to update it and it wasn't in my notification feed

What ios images you use?
