EIGRP question ...

Something for the geeks out there and one for a little advice.

I am building a large network using an EIGRP core as a prelude to some research we are doing for the wider Cisco community. A simplified version of the topology is below.
























The network is full converged, there is no auto-summary deliberately applied on all instances of AS 99. Checking each instance, using show ip eigrp topology, all routers are passive and has sensible metrics for the FD and AD.

The four stubs of OSPF all redistribute into EIGRP and vice versa.

Now for the problem, with this fully converged network, it does not let me ping beyond one hop.

The following is the command output from Router B ...

ip dhcp excluded-address 99.0.3.1 9.0.3.10
!
ip dhcp pool B
 network 99.0.3.0 255.255.255.0
!
int fa0/1
 ip add 99.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
 description this points to RightCore
!
int fa0/0
 ip add 99.0.3.1 255.255.255.0
 description this points to LocalB
!
router eigrp 99
 no auto-summary
 network 99.0.0.0 0.0.0.255
 network 99.0.3.0 0.0.0.255
!
And this is output from LocalB ...

interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address dhcp
 description this points to B
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
 ip address 3.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 description this points to the PC
!
router eigrp 99
 redistribute ospf 1 metric 1500 0 255 255 1500
 network 99.0.3.0 0.0.0.255
 no auto-summary
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 redistribute eigrp 99 subnets
 network 3.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
!
You can assume that all interfaces are up ... so why can I see everything via EIGRP and have a fully converged network yet unable to ping?

It is worth adding there is no traffic filtering, MD5 hashes or in fact anything clever, these are yet to be added.

    save the config on the inter protocol router and restart it.
    I have tested it and the redistribution then works correctly.
    I had thought it was due to DHCP but was wrong

      been through the restart process, DHCP works fine (tho have found a wee bug in PT) ... busy building a new VM to try out on a beta of PT

    Sounds like there's no route back so I think the redistribution may not be working.

    What interface are you sourcing the ping from?

    Can you see the routes in the routing tables both ways? I guess you can see the ospf routes but can you see the eigrp routes from the stub or better yet a default route/ summarised route from the ospf router?

    Try the output of show ip route ospf

    #solved, it was working, had to upgrade to v6 beta r40 from 5.3.3 of the simulator, everything was text book, is text book but sim alas (pffft)

If airlines offer in-flight Wi-Fi, they should invest in an extra black box for security ...

Yijun Yu , The Open University and Andrew Smith , The Open University In-flight Wi-Fi is one of the most sought-after facilities for air travellers these days, now that laptops and smartphones are so common and so much of our working and personal life revolves around online services. But a US Government Accountability Office report has suggested that many in-flight wireless networks could expose the plane to being hacked or remotely controlled . In fact it’s of such a concern to US authorities that when a well-known computer security expert made an admittedly ill-thought-out joke about doing so on Twitter, he was promptly arrested, his computers confiscated, and subsequently banned from the airline . And all he was suggesting was to make the oxygen masks drop down. So it would appear that the stuff of Hollywood may jump from fiction to fact: Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore starred in the 2014 film Non-Stop , where a passenger hacking the aircraft’s internal wirel...

Wikipedia editors never walk alone: Hillsborough changes can be traced ... from @ConversationUK

Image
By Andrew Smith , The Open University According to the Liverpool Echo , UK government computers have been used to make offensive comments on the Wikipedia page detailing the 1989 Hillsbourgh Disaster over a number of years. The newspaper reports that revisions to the page have been made from computers using the government’s secure intranet since 2009. They include insults to Liverpool fans and a comment suggesting that fans were responsible for the football ground disaster, in which 96 people died. This case highlights the continual issue of trolling and cybervandalism on Wikipedia. It also shows how journalism is using good, technical forensic tools at the disposal of every cybercitizen. Cybercitizens can be good or bad So many of us use Wikipedia on a daily basis that it is one of the most visited websites in the world. Yet not that many of us really understand how it works. Wikipedia is based on the principle that the community can create, edit and refine pages covering...

Highlights and lowlights of 2014, a golden year for cybercrime from @ConversationUK

Image
Looking back, 2014 was not a good year for keeping things safe under digital lock and key. If a score was being kept, it might seem that the cybercriminals are in the lead, despite the valiant efforts – and own goals – from the cybersecurity profession worldwide. Cast your mind back to March , everyone was panicking about the HeartBleed bug. Based on an error in code upon which the majority of the world’s secure servers relied, experts had plenty of time to fix the issue. Sadly there was an array of conflicting information about changing passwords, leading to widespread confusion. While most IT administrators made sure this was managed in a professional manner, it created a stir that seemed to set the tone for the year. In May , online auction giant Ebay admitted to having been compromised. The site said its systems, with personal details of tens of millions of users, may have had been vulnerable for months. Everyone was advised, indeed forced, to change their password. In the...
