Troubleshooting Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

The basic command for checking the status and the start of troubleshooting of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and other routing protocols is show ip protocols. The following output shows the output related to EIGRP. However, first here are some key things to look for:



  • No filters on interfaces, either incoming or outgoing



  • Metric settings (automatically at the default settings)



  • Maximum configured hop count



  • AS number



  • Summarization settings



  • Networks this router is distributing



  • Neighbors seen



  • Administrative distance

    192.168.5.0
  Routing Information Sources:

    192.168.1.1           90      00:03:43
  Distance: internal 90 external 170

In addition to the basics found in show ip protocols, a suite of commands is available through the show ip eigrp command. The following information shows the categories of information you can find by using the show ip eigrp command:

  interfaces  IP-EIGRP interfaces
  neighbors   IP-EIGRP neighbors
  topology    IP-EIGRP Topology Table
  traffic     IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics
  vrf         Select a VPN Routing/Forwarding instance

The interfaces option


The interfaces option identifies which interfaces receive EIGRP messages, and how many possible unreliable and reliable routes exist.

The neighbors option


The EIGRP neighbors option gives you information about systems from which your router is receiving EIGRP packets and when that information is allowed to be modified.


Router2>enable

   Version 12.0/1.0, Retrans: 1, Retries: 0

The topology option


The topology option displays information that goes into the topology table. In this case, you can see that the output includes a list of potential routes which can be used for the networks and on which interface the routes were learned. Notice that the listing includes successors, while if they were available, you would also see the feasible successors.

P 192.168.5.0/24, 1 successors, FD is 28160, serno 8
        via Connected, FastEthernet0/1

The traffic option


A traffic display provides the statistics on the EIGRP traffic that your router is seeing, the packets it has received, and the number to which it has responded. Notice that these statistics are for a specific AS identifier.

The debug command


Finally, you come to the debug command. Be aware that enabling any debug command puts a load on your router. Notice that the following output gives you information on the neighbors, such as new adjacency (learning of a new adjacent or neighbor router), changes in link availability, and routing information.

If you have too many debug options enabled and the screen is overflowing with data, you can get the situation under control again by disabling all the options. Do this by typing u all to disable all possible debugging.
