HI Fahad,

 

Thanks for your Input,

 

I immediately test on my lab environment, but the result is not what We
Expect, please correct me if I'm Wrong.

 

The topology is like this :

 

R1 ------ R3 ----- SW2

 

1. R1 summary Route 212.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 distance 5

and get this route : D 212.18.0.0/16 is a summary, 00:11:41, Null0 (As we
agree that this route AD should be 5 right ? How to verify this ?)

2. R3 get the summary route with AD 90

D 212.18.0.0/16 [90/8234010] via 162.1.13.1, 00:17:40, Serial1/1

3. And I summary this route to SW2 with this command :

ip summary-address eigrp 200 212.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 5

IF I get you right, this command will over rule the summary address D
212.18.0.0/16 [90/8234010] via 162.1.13.1, 00:17:40, Serial1/1

as this summary will install in the routing table with AD 5 right ? The
route in R3 should be D 212.18.0.0/16 is a summary, 00:11:41, Null0

 

but As I see, the route is not change :

 

D 212.18.0.0/16 [90/8234010] via 162.1.13.1, 00:17:40, Serial1/1

 

DO I Miss something here ?

 

 

Thanks a lot for looking into this.

Dear Mark,

 

I posted regarding this query on19th july,08. This "distance" keyword in "ip
summary-address eigrp" command is used to modify the AD of the discard route
populated in the routing table when a router sends a summary route to its
neighbour and absolutely not for modifying the AD of the routes in
neighbour's routing table. consider this scenario,

 

1.1.1.1/24----(lo0)
R1(s1/0)10.0.0.1-------10.0.0.2(s1/0)R2(s1/1)11.0.0.1-----11.0.0.2(s1/0)R3
 
|

 
(lo0)1.1.2.1/24

 

-R1 is sending summary (1.0.0.0/8) to R2 through "ip summ-add" command

 

-R1 will have discard route to null0 in its routing table

 

-R2 gets this summary with AD of 90 from R1 ( as its normal eigrp update for
R2's perception)

 

-if R2 needs to generate summary route(1.0.0.0/8) towards R3 through "ip
summ-add" command, then here comes a conflit, R2 will create discard route
entry in its routing table for 1.0.0.0/8 since it has deafilt AD of 5 and
that will suppress the summary update got from R1. In order to prevent this
behaivour , increase the AD of summary route more than 90 when configuring
on R2 for R3. Then , R2 wont be having any discard route in its routing
table and R3 will be having a summary in its routing table as 1.0.0.0/8 and
will be able to ping 1.1.2.1 <http://1.1.2.1/> and 1.1.1.1
<http://1.1.1.1/> .

-This is how we can play with discard route through modifing AD.

Hi Hong,

The problem is, The Distance is not propagated to the neighbor router.

Just like I said, whatever your distance is, the AD on your neighbor would
still the same, which is 90
