EIGRP routes not being learned

Hi group,

 

Has anyone ever seen a case whereby you have two catalysts (3560 L3) running
eigrp on the same LAN. Cat A and Cat B form adjacencies and exchange
hello's. However when cat B receives cat A's routes all the routes learned
from A are stamped as destination unreachable.

 

I've put a sniffer trace on router B and inspected the eigrp update packets
entering router B.

 

The source IP of the packet entering CAT B is 10.1.1.1 (cat A) and the
destination IP address is the multicast address, 224.0.0.10. However, I
would expect this destination address to be 10.1.1.2 (Cat B) ?.

 

In the IP EIGRP UPDATE packet entering router B the details are:

 

IP Internal Route = 10.2.0.0/16 - Destination unreachable

Type = 0x0102 (IP Internal Route)

Size 27 bytes

Next Hop = 0.0.0.0

Metrics etc

Prefix = 16

Destination = 10.2.0.0

 

The route 10.2.0.0/16 is being advertised by Catalyst A. This is a valid
subnet local to Cat A.

 

The eigrp configuration itself is pretty simple,

 

Router eigrp 254

Network 10.0.0.0

No auto-summary

 

 

I could understand the next hop set to 0.0.0.0 if this was being advertised
OUT by Cat B as this would be self/the origin but this is a packet being
Received into Cat B which doesn't add up.

 

Does anyone have a description of the EIGRP packet format and perhaps an
explanation why the route is flagged as unreachable.

 

 

Many thanks in advance,

Malcolm
