Gurus,

Pls do enlighten me on this:

A simple hub and spoke topology on FR.

2 spokes R3 and R4 and a hub router R1. I have a common prefix say 13.13.6.6 which is being redistributed in via R3 and R4 towards R1 over OSPF.

Case1:

router ospf 10
redistribute eigrp 10 subnets

R1 get the prefix and does not load balances via R3 and R4 , even after i check all the path metrics and forward metric were exactly same from both R3 and R4.

            13.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 10 subnets, 2 masks
O E2 13.13.6.6/32 [110/20] via 13.13.11.4, 00:00:10, Serial2/0

R1#sh ip route 13.13.6.6
Routing entry for 13.13.6.6/32
  Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20, type extern 2, forward metric 64
  Last update from 13.13.11.4 on Serial2/0, 00:01:15 ago
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * 13.13.11.4, from 13.13.4.4, 00:01:15 ago, via Serial2/0
      Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1

"failover to R3" , shutting the S2/0 of R4.

            13.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 11 subnets, 2 masks
O E2 13.13.6.6/32 [110/20] via 13.13.11.3, 00:00:03, Serial2/0

R1#sh ip route 13.13.6.6
Routing entry for 13.13.6.6/32
  Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20, type extern 2, forward metric 64
  Last update from 13.13.11.3 on Serial2/0, 00:00:02 ago
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * 3.3.11.3, from 3.3.3.3, 00:00:02 ago, via Serial2/0
      Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1

Case2:

router ospf 10
redistribute eigrp 10 metric 20 subnets

in this case , R1 shows me prefix X via both R3 and R4.

           13.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 11 subnets, 2 masks
O E2 13.13.6.6/32 [110/20] via 13.13.11.4, 00:00:26, Serial2/0
                               [110/20] via 13.13.11.3, 00:00:26, Serial2/0

Seems im missing something.

 do advise.

Thanx
Shukla.
