Chris,

Thanks, you're fantastic. I think you solved the problem with your comments
about f/r.

I had done the sh fram map many times - all looked fine. But, I never did
the show fram pvc command.

Here's the output from both:

R3#sh fram map

It turns out there was something similar on R1:

As you can see, there is a direct pvc going from R1 to R3. So, somehow some
of those little buggers (eigrp hello's) were by passing R2 - at least in one
direction but not the other.

But, leads to a Frame Relay question. As you can see from the show fram map
output, only pvc 102 is listed.

So, how is it possible for pvc 103 to be active and NOT show up in the show
fram map output?

That's pretty screwy, isn't it?

Shouldn't it show up as a dynamically map pvc?

TIA, Tim

There are a couple of things that could be happening.

Just dealing with the eror message first. The first guess is that as R1
has a map statement to R3 with the broadcast keyword, multicast hellos
are getting from R1 to R3, so that is why the neighbor is being formed.
The neighbor dies as R1 probably does not have broadcast capability to
R3.

Not being able to see the routers myself, I would troubleshoot this
issue as follows:

Check with the show frame-relay pvc command to see if there are any PVCs
that you don't know about connecting R1 and R3, then do a show frame
map. Even though you map have no frame inverse on, you can still have
mappings to 0.0.0.0 for these extra DLCIs that could be causing trouble.
The simplest way to get rid of the maps to 0.0.0.0 is to reload the
router.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I turned on debug ip packet on R1, R2 and R3.

And, it looks like you're right - at least partially.

I say partially because even though the eigrp mcast packets from the
spokes look like they're not being forwarded by the hub, R3 stills
sometimes sees
R1 as a neighbor. That doesn't make sense to me.

CL: this can only be because there is some path for multicast hellos to
pass between these two routers.

In the debugs on R1 and R3, I don't see eigrp packets coming in from the
other spoke.

But, what I don't understand is this: If the eigrp aren't coming in
from the other spoke, why would one spoke EVER show the spoke as a
neighbor.

CL: they must be, probably rogue mappings you don't realize are there.

And, more fundamentally, are the eigrp spokes suppose to become eigrp
neighbors?

CL: depends :)

I can't see reason the spokes need to be neighbors if the hub has
split-horizon disabled.

Any thoughts?

TIA, Tim

Looks like multicast packets are not being sent by R3 to R1 probably due
to the broadcast keyword missing on the frame-relay map statement. If
this is the case, doing a debug ip packet should show that the EIGRP
hellos to 224.0.0.10 are unroutable.

Hi guys,

This is interesting but confusing.

R1, R2, and R3 are running eigrp over a hub and spoke f/r cloud with R2
as the hub.

R1 doesn't ever see R3, the other spoke as an eigrp neighbor, but R3
sometimes sees R1 as a neighbor.

On R1, the neighbor state with R3 flaps up and down.

On R2, the hub, ip split-horizon has been disabled.

R3#sh ip ei n

Notice the uptime for R1 (1831.1.123.1) is very small relative to R2.

Moments later.

And, I get these messages on R3:

Anyone know what's going on? And, know what should be done about this?
