eigrp redistribution problem

[TodirascuOvidiu]

Hi Guys,

I have this problem.

My setup is like this:

router eigrp 5

network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

no auto-sum

When i do:

ip route 10.5.1.0 255.255.255.0 null0

this route gets redistributed int eigrp

but when i do

ip route 123.5.6.0 255.255.255.0 null0

this is not redistributed to eigrp

It seems that private subnets are redistributed but public ips not and this is very weired.

This happens on a 3750 switch with smd routing on it.

Does anyone have any ideea why is this happening?

Thanks

Based on the symptoms that you describe my guess would be that there is an interface on your router in network 10.0.0.0. This interface matches the network statement 0.0.0.0 in your EIGRP. And since there is an active network 10.0.0.0 in EIGRP it then redistributes the static route for a subnet of 10.0.0.0. And I would guess that there is not an interface in network 123.0.0.0. So it is not included in EIGRP and that is why the other static route is not redistributed into EIGRP.

I believe that it has nothing to do with public networks and private networks but has to do with whether the static route matches an active network in your EIGRP.
