EIGRP OSPF Redistribution Sim

February 26th, 2012 in LabSim Go to comments

Question: (Hope someone will contribute the detailed requirement of this sim!)

Some information I have gathered so far:

R2 is an ASBR for EIGRP 100 and OSPF AREA 24

R3 is an ASBR for EIGRP 100 and OSPF AREA 34

[note: so there are TWO separate areas on TWO separate ASBRS

thus you need to do redistribution on R2 and R3

R1 is ONLY in EIGRP 100, and is THE ONLY router you can ping from. R4 has a loopback interface that must be pinged from R1.

R4 is running OSPF and has redundant link to EIGRP network over R3 router.

The requirement of this sim is traffic from R1 should go to the most optimal route to reach 172.16.100.0/24 network

Notice: You should make a ping from R1 to 172.16.100.1 network to make sure everything is working correctly.

Answer and Explanation:

Thanks to POONAM who send us the topology and configuration. She got 100% on EIGRP-OSPF lab so this solution is perfect! Please say thank to him and others who contribute this lab-sim!

SOLUTION from POONAM

First we need to find out 5 parameters (Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load, MTU) of the s0/0/0 interface (the interface of R2 connected to R4) for redistribution :

R2#show interface s0/0/0

Write down these 5 parameters, notice that we have to divide the Delay by 10 because the metric unit is in tens of microsecond. For example, we get Bandwidth=1544 Kbit, Delay=20000 us, Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500 bytes then we would redistribute as follows:

R2#config terminal

R2(config)# router ospf 1

R2(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets

R2(config-router)#exit

R2(config-router)#router eigrp 100

R2(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 1544 2000 255 1 1500

 

(Notice: In fact, these parameters are just used for reference and we can use other parameters with no problem. Also, a candidate said that the simulator didn’t accept the Bandwidth of 1544; in that case, we can use a lower value, like 128.

If the delay is 20000us then we need to divide it by 10, that is 20000 / 10 = 2000)

Note: “usec” here does not mean microsecond (which is 1/1000 milliseconds) but means millisecond. In short usec = msec. I don’t know why they use the word “usec” here but just think it is “msec” (According to this link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094cb7.shtml#eigrpmetrics: “The delay as shown in the show ip eigrp topology or show interface commands is in microseconds”)

For R3 we use the show interface fa0/0 to get 5 parameters too

R3#show interface fa0/0

For example we get Bandwidth=10000 Kbit, Delay=1000 us, Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500 bytes

R3#config terminal

R3(config)#router ospf 1

R3(config-router)#redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets

R3(config)#exit

R3(config-router)#router eigrp 100

R3(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 10000 100 255 1 1500

Finally you should try to “show ip route” to see the 172.16.100.1 network (the network behind R4) in the routing table of R1 and make a ping from R1 to this network.

Note: If the link between R2 and R3 is FastEthernet link, we must put the command below under EIGRP process to make traffic from R1 to go through R3 (R1 -> R2 -> R3 -> R4), which is better than R1 -> R2 -> R4.

R2(config-router)# distance eigrp 90 105

This command sets the Administrative Distance of all EIGRP internal routes to 90 and all EIGRP external routes to 105, which is smaller than the Administrative Distance of OSPF (110) -> the link between R2 & R3 will be preferred to the serial link between R2 & R4.

Maybe the “copy running-config startup-config” command will not work in this lab so don’t worry, just skip it.

Note: Please check the OSPF process numbers first before typing these commands. Maybe they are not “ospf 1″ like above.

If you want to have a closer look at this sim and understand more about the “distance eigrp” command, please read my OSPF EIGRP Redistribute Lab in GNS3.

    I have take my Exam, I got the Question with the link between R2 and R3 using FastEthernet.
    Before set Distance, the result of traceroute is : R1>R2>R4.
    i still wondering, Why i must set distance 90 105 ? (Result of Traceroute :R1>R2>R3>R4).

    what i remember about the Question is “R1 reach to 172.16.100.1 must using the shortest path and the Fastest Link” -> CMIIW

    Can Anyone Explain it to me? Thx b4

    please ?

    net 172.16.100.0 is connected to OSPF ???

    and which area ????

  7. José Díaz
    March 27th, 2013

    @Hassan

    I guess you are trying to simulate the sim. I suppose that the network 172.16.100.0 is in Ospf area 0 the backbone (Thats how I did it using GNS3). Remeber, for no-backbone areas to pass traffic between them, the ABR´s should be connect to the backbone area at least one interface.

    In this example, you are not required to pass traffic between the areas 24 and 34, but I just mencionated to make you clear.

    @ASD

    Im not sure what´s the real requirement for this SIM, but there seems to be 2 flavors.

    - To chose the shortest path.
    - To chose the optimal path.

    In the first one, there wouldn´t be necessary to change the external AD, couse the path trough OSPF (R1-R2-R4) would be the shortest.

    In the second one (The optimal path, as the text from this website says), we know that FastEthernet would be more optimal than a Serial Link (Talking about the bandwith).

    So I guess thats way we need to change the external AD for eigrp, in order to use the path (R1-R2-R3-R4).

    Before we reduce the external AD EIGRP at R3 from 170 to 105, R3 selects the route to net 172.16.100.0 trought ospf (AD 110). Then, in order to select the most optimal path, we change the external EIGRP AD to a value smaller than the OSPF AD, in this example they chose 105. it could be any value smaller than 110.

    Remember when a Router have to 2 routing sources for the same prefix/prefix length, before the IOS compare the metrics it selects the better AD.

    ***SORRY FOR THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES. I HOPE THE EXPLANATION HELPS YOU A LITTLE BIT.****

    – This SIM was present and the requirement was “implement the shortest path and highest bandwidth”,,advised that the redundant link should work when the main link fails….

    since it was meaning the word shortest I did not configure the distance eigrp 90 105 command,,,,,, got 89 %

    Hi Anonymous,

    routes redistributed into OSPF by default have a metric type of 2, which means the metrics don’t increment. If we use metric type 1, then the metrics increment. Metric being used by OSPF is cost, the lower the cost, the better the link is..that’s why metric 1 is used if in case the question asks us to prefer the more optimal path

    I suggest you use review materials from Wendell Odom (cisco Press) and Jeremy Ciora (CBTNuggets) to understand the concepts further.

    Hi All,
    I took the exam last week with max score.
    Not EIGRP Simlet, not OSPF Hotspot.
    The other 5 configuration labs are present in the exam and valid.
    Link between R2 and R3 was fastethernet so I had to add the “distance eigrp 90 105″
    Don’t worry if you can’t do a ‘copy run start’ in the real exam (type it and good).
    Ip addresses, names, areas and processes can change!
    Don’t type blind!!! Know the concept and the commands!!!
    And you are on the safe side.
    Thanks digitaltut, Boyi n Peter (All question from these only).

    hey everyone…..
    i have done this in pt everything worked well.but when i execute the command ” distance eigrp 90 105″ then i received those msg

    %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 100: Neighbor 192.168.1.2 (Serial0/0/0) is down: Interface Goodbye received
    Router#sh ip ro
    %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 100: Neighbor 192.168.1.2 (Serial0/0/0) is up: new adjacency
    here 192.168.12 (s0/0/0) is the link from R2 to R1 and no ping ,no traceroute working at all.

    can anyone help me with this?my exam is soon…thnx in advance

    I took the test today and this lab has evolved. It has IP’s and console’s hanging off R1 & R4. Unfortunately it came up late in the exam and I was pressing for time so I didn’t get a chance to go through everything to get details beyond what is already on this page. I didn’t score well on EIGRP, but thankfully did well enough on the rest to pull me through. Did anyone else who took the test today (or after) experience the same thing?

    @Asad,

    The path R1>R2>R3>R4 is better because the link btw R2>R3 is fastethernet which has a better bandwidth than the serial link between R2>R4.

    what is interfaces used to connect between R3 and R4

  39. Muhammad Zahid
    April 24th, 2013

    A QUESTION,

    how can R3 to R4 is most optimal route, because when traffice reaches on R2, if it goes to R3 it passes on a serial link and then it will reache to R3 but in the same time it can reache to R4 because of another serail link is between R2 TO R4. So how can we say it is the most optimal route, In any case ( short route or optimal route ) , to cross 2 serial links are much better than cross 2 serial link with extra FASTEHTERNET LINK or ETHERNET LINK.

    please clear my concept with example.
    thanks for all.

    the link between R2 and R3 is Fastethernet.
    so

    R2(config-router)# distance eigrp 90 105

    is required.

    passed, but didn’t score that great due to too many IPv6 & Tunneling questions. I was expecting perhaps a couple of questions on the subject, but got about 3 tunneling Qs and about 15-18 IPv6 Qs. I do advice reviewing those if you want top scores nearing the 1000th

    Hi
    Why do we need mutual redistribution on R2 and R3, I think the redistribution from ospf into EIGRP is enough, because the requirement in the lab said that we should only ping from R1 to R4, i did that in GNS 3 ans it works.
    Correct me if I’m wrong please

  57. digitaltut

    @Noureddine: No, you can’t ping from R1 to R4 because R4 needs to send reply back to R1 -> mutual redistribution is required.

    Concerning the use of “usec” in delay’s millisecond unit [in Answer and Explanation, pp 8] :

    “usec”- the u is used as a alphabetical stand-in for the Greek letter “mi” which is written scientifically as “μ” or “μsec” (millisecond). Cisco can’t provide Greek letters in CLI.

    Can someone please help me out? I’ve gone over this lab several times and I cannot get it right. When applying the configs, I have no problem obtaining the shortest route when pinging from R1 to the Loopback on R4. However, even when changing the distance (90 and 105)on R2 and R3, I cannot force the route to the faster connection (R2, R3, R4). Please advise where I am going wrong.

    Thanks to all in Digitaltut for helping me to pass the exam. All 5 sim labs appeared in the test. For this question, I included “distance eigrp 90 105″ in R2, because the interface between R2 & R3 is FastEthernet. Good luck to those taking this exam.

    Just passed Route today, thank you Digitaltut! I just donated something, keep up good work. For this lab, the requirement was to configure distance in such a way that the path with best bandwidth is preferred. I am not sure now, as I am still dizzy from the exam, but I think path from R2 to R3 in the exam is also an fastethernet (not serial), as it is the path from R3 to R4. So, the path with best bandwidth is R1 -> R2 -> R3 -> R4 and solution presented before is valid (R2 -> distance eigrp 90 105)
    In addition, all labs presented on this site were in the exam and presented solutions are valid. Only few questions that are not in this website were in the exam. Thank you again for the good work.

    Anyone get a perfect score on this lab? Just wondering about the “metric-type 1″ command. I don’t see anything in the instructions about going away from the default E2 route or anything about making sure the metric increases.

    Thinking cisco may take some points if you change the default without it being an objective in the lab.

    Can anyone provide the GNS3 configs for these labs? I’m a bit of a Newbie?

    Passed today with 1000 points. They wanted that packets use maximum bandwidth available and link between R2 and R3 was fastethernet so I put command distance eigrp 90 105 on R2 and got 100% of points.
