Scott,
Thanks for the helpful information.
I was just about to ask some further questions, but before I did, I told
myself to take some of my own medicine and lab it up and find out for
myself. :-p
So I did......
These were my questions (I've supplied my own answers after testing this in
the lab):
Q) if you configure "neighbor x.x.x.x s0/0" under the EIGRP process how do
you verify that it's working?
A) issue the "show ip eigrp nei" command, and on the far right hand side
under "Type", you should see an S for static neighbor. When "Type" is
blank, it means the neighbor was discovered dynamically.
Q) How else can I verify that packets/updates are being sent unicast and
not via multicast to 224.0.0.10 ?
A) You can configure an extended ACL to "permit eigrp any any log-input"
like so:
access-list 101 permit eigrp any any log-input
apply the ACL on the inbound side of your interface connecting to your
EIGRP neighbor:
ip access-group 101 in
and then you should see matches for the ACL that show eigrp packets coming
from source x.x.x.x with a destination address of your connecting interface
address, and not that of the multicast address 224.0.0.10. If you remove
the "neighbor x.x.x.x int y/z" command from the EIGRP process (on both
sides), then your ACL will show that you are receiving eigrp packets from
neighbor x.x.x.x with a destination address of 224.0.0.10.
Thanks,
Chuck
