Hi Herbert,

I think you're correct. If you just do 'sh ip eig top' you will not see
non-feasible successors unless you use the 'all-links' keyword. However,
you displayed the topology for a specific prefix, which give you everything
the router's got for it. Sorry, I didn't realize exactly where the
confusion was.

Regards,

Scott

Perhaps let me re-phrase the question. Should that route be visible through
show ip eigrp topology ? I definitely agree it will be in the topology
table as it is being learnt, but I believed until it passes the feasibility
condition it should not be listed by way of this command as this command
supposedly lists only feasible successors and successors.

Hey Eric,

Looking at the addressing scheme and the delay values (as well as a few
fields in the topology table entries), it looks like R5 connects to R4
directly via Fast-E and also via FR hub-and-spoke cloud, with R1 being the
hub. R5 is redistributing this external network learned via RIP from a BB.
R1 is advertising its route via the FR could on down to R4, which happens to
have a much better metric via the Fast-E connectivity. Both paths are
supposed to be in the topology table - just not the routing table. In fact,
if we looked at the R1 topology table, it would show two paths as well, and
the path via R4 and on up to R5 via Fast-E would also not meet the
feasibility condition but would nevertheless still be in the topology table
of R1.

Scott

Hi Herbert,

would you mind post the configuration?
