EIGRP Scenario:

R1==R2==R3==R4

R1 advertises networks 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2. R2 has distribute list out allowing only 1.1.1.1. R1-R2 link goes down. What queries do R3 and R4 receive?

Hi Christiano,

The query will be sent out from R2 to R3 and the routes will be removed when it sends the EIGRP packets to the neighbor.

Captured the debug packets from the gns:

Hi Christiano

  • Eigrp Query process is triggered when successor goes down and doesn’t have any feasible successor available.
  • In your case when the link between R1 & R2 goes off. Router R2 will generate the query irrespective of distribute list applied for any route because R2 router has that route (i.e 2.2.2.2) in its topology and routing table but once the link between R1-R2 goes down R2 will not have the feasible successor so generate the query towards R3.
  • Now R3 router will receive the query and reply back to R2 as R3 doesn’t have any information about the feasible successor for route 2.2.2.2. so R3 router will not generate any query to R4.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for the answers.

EIGRP Scenario:

R1 advertises networks 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2. R2 has distribute list out allowing only 1.1.1.1. R1-R2 link goes down. What queries do R3 and R4 receive?

""""

OK so R2 sends out a query for 2.2.2.2 to R3 and R3 replies it doesn't know and doesn't pass query to R4. How about for 1.1.1.1? Since R3 had 1.1.1.1 in its topology table does it push the 1.1.1.1 query to R4?

Yes R3 router will send the query to the R4: See the snip below on R4 router
