EIGRP Router not populating topology table with expected route (Lab)

Chris Murray · ‎11-30-2014

I cannot figure out why Core1 isn't learning backup routes to the loopback subnets on lan 1 and lan 2. I understand why they wouldn't be FS routes, but shouldn't they still be in the topology table?

Here's an output from Core 1's topology table:

Any insight is appreciated!, Thank you!

We'll need to know more about your topology to answer your question. You won't learn the routes if they're being filtered earlier on. But you should see them if they're from a direct neighbor.

'show ip eigrp neigh' will tell you if you're forming neighbor relationships.

Chris Murray · ‎11-30-2014

Thanks for taking a look Fred. Did you get a chance to look at the topology table? I've have not configured any filtering. All neighborships in the topology have formed, the core router just doesn't seem to want to populate the topology table with non-successor routes it sees from Distro 1 and Distro 2. I've confirmed that Distro 1 and Distro 2 are advertising the routes to Core 1.

Example output from Distro 2:

*Mar 1 00:35:54.447: IP-EIGRP(Default-IP-Routing-Table:1): 10.2.1.0/24 - do advertise out FastEthernet1/0
*Mar 1 00:35:54.447: IP-EIGRP(Default-IP-Routing-Table:1): Int 10.2.1.0/24 metric 25753600 - 25600000 153600
*Mar 1 00:35:54.447: IP-EIGRP(Default-IP-Routing-Table:1): 10.2.7.0/24 - do advertise out FastEthernet1/0
*Mar 1 00:35:54.447: IP-EIGRP(Default-IP-Routing-Table:1): Int 10.2.7.0/24 metric 25753600 - 25600000 153600

(Distro 2 is connected to Core1 on fa 1/0.)

hi,

try using show eigrp topology all-links instead.

this will show you all possible routes including those that are neither successor nor FS.

Chris Murray · ‎11-30-2014

Hello John,

"show ip eigrp topo all" is an abbreviated form of "show ip eigrp topology all-links" the output would be the same but I've included it for your reference.

right my bad.

how about issuing the following on Core1 and post it here?

show ip eigrp topology 10.1.0.0/24

show ip eigrp topology 10.1.7.0/24

show ip eigrp topology 10.2.0.0/24

show ip eigrp topology 10.2.7.0/24

show ip eigrp topology 10.1.0.0/24

show ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0

show ip route 10.1.7.0.0 255.255.255.0

show ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.255.0

show ip route 10.2.7.0 255.255.255.0

it would be also helpful if you could post the config of all routers.
