RE: Re(2): DISTANCE Command

Hello Sabrina / Angelo / Plukkie, to be honest, I have not found any good
reference that explicitly says that EIGRP does not support the Change of the
AD for a particulars External Router; but I'm pretty sure that it must be
written somewhere, it is just a matter of time.

But I found this that could be of help in the researching (and searching
process) of Why EIGRP does not change the Specifics External routes to a
configured AD Value (as our assumption here, maybe it does and we are just
completely wrong) is that:

1.- This Command is specific to EIGRP.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/np1_r
/1rprt1/1reigrp.htm#wp1017590

The distance eigrp command sets the administrative distance of **ALL** EIGRP
internal routes to 80 and **ALL** EIGRP external routes to 130.

2.- This Command is specific to General IP Routing
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hirp_r
/rte_pih.htm#wp1122260
the meaning of this command is that it would change the AD of the Routes
owned (internal) to the Routing Process. .- Just like Angelo Scenario

Also, Playing around also with ip summa eigrp X X.x.X.x M.M.M.M (AD), you
can no do nothing else than this

R2#show ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 long | be Gate
Gateway of last resort is not set

     10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
D 10.7.0.0/16 is a summary, 00:00:12, Null0
O 10.7.2.0/24 [110/65] via 133.1.24.4, 00:09:55, Serial0/0

Rack3R2#show run int f0/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 407 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 133.1.26.2 255.255.255.0
 ip summary-address eigrp 100 10.7.0.0 255.255.0.0 5
 
------------------
OT: if you look at R2 routing Table it would generate a Null0 to that
aggregate, but If you change the ip summary-address eigrp 100 10.7.0.0
255.255.0.0 255 that Null0 route in the RT disappears
------------------

BB1-TS#6
[Resuming connection 6 to r6 ... ]

*Aug 28
R6#show ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 long | be Gate
Gateway of last resort is not set

     10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
D 10.7.0.0/16 [90/2560002816] via 133.1.26.2, 00:00:34,
FastEthernet0/0.51
D EX 10.7.2.0/24
           [170/2560002816] via 3.3.26.2, 00:00:34, FastEthernet0/0.51
R6#

See that the Aggregate route now belongs to internal EIGRP, and that we can
easily then change the AD to whatever AD we want

R6#conf te
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R6(config)#do show ip access-list
R6(config)#access-list 12 permit 10.7.0.0 0.0.255.255
R6(config)#router eigrp 100
R6(config-router)#distance 111 3.3.26.2 0.0.0.0 12

Now we have the AD Changed :D

Rack3R6#show ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 long | be Gate
Gateway of last resort is not set

     10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
D 10.7.0.0/16
           [111/2560002816] via 3.3.26.2, 00:01:12, FastEthernet0/0.51
D EX 10.7.2.0/24
           [170/2560002816] via 3.3.26.2, 00:01:12, FastEthernet0/0.51

Other interesting thing here to note is that when you see the Topology Table
of a Particular Route, the information is very granular, so I would not be
surprised if we can change the AD of particular routes

R6#show ip eigrp topology 10.7.2.0 255.255.255.0
IP-EIGRP (AS 100): Topology entry for 10.7.2.0/24
  State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor(s), FD is 2560002816
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  3.3.26.2 (FastEthernet0/0.51), from 3.3.26.2, Send flag is 0x0
      Composite metric is (2560002816/2560000256), Route is External
      Vector metric:
        Minimum bandwidth is 1 Kbit
        Total delay is 110 microseconds
        Reliability is 1/255
        Load is 1/255
        Minimum MTU is 1
        Hop count is 1
      External data:
        Originating router is 3.3.2.2
        AS number of route is 1 << *****
        External protocol is OSPF, external metric is 65 << *****
        Administrator tag is 2110 (0x0000083E) << *****

<< ***** The Protocol is so verbose for certain things that I would be
surprise if we can just not change the Administrative value ONLY for this
route, but yet I do not know how to do it, Still Searching for that...>>>

Now I'm very interested to know the particular scenario that you guys are
trying to accomplish, so please let us know.

Thanks and please sorry my terrible English, I have 4 days with a flu that
is annoying me

Victor.-

I didn't have any doubt ;-) It's one of these things that one simply knows.
 
 Unfortunately I don't have any link for that. I remember trying to look it
up on univerCD but there was nothing there.
 I've also looked on CCO, but no luck. I've to add here, though, that I'm a
very bad CCO browser.
 
 I'm sure if Victor picks up this thread it'll pull a link out of his
sleeve.

Hi,
    I changed my ACL and still does not work.

Sabrina,
    I think you are right. Thanks. Do you have a document for this?

Regards,
Angelo
