Section 4 – Interior Gateway Routing – 8 Points
“Note: Do not redistribute between IGPs”
Sweet!!!! Well, at least I thought so at first. This short IGP section with no redistribution only meant that I was about to get my teeth kicked in on the BGP section. 
4.1 OSPF
“To minimize WAN utilization OSPF traffic should only be sent over the Frame Relay segment during initial adjacency establishment and when changes occur in the OSPF topology.”
Huh? Does OSPF traffic include hellos? If it doesn’t, then we’re good by default…except for the 30 minute paranoid update. 
If they include hellos, then we need to configure the the point-to-point FR connection as a demand circuit.
ip ospf demand-circuit
“ip ospf demand-circuit” only needs to be configured on one side of the link.
r4(config-if)#int s0/0.54
r4(config-subif)#ip os demand
r4#sh ip os int s0/0.54
Serial0/0.54 is up, line protocol is up
Internet Address 129.1.54.4/24, Area 0
Process ID 100, Router ID 150.1.4.4, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 65
Configured as demand circuit.
Run as demand circuit.
DoNotAge LSA allowed.
Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
oob-resync timeout 40
Hello due in 00:00:01
Supports Link-local Signaling (LLS)
Index 1/1, flood queue length 0
Next 0×0(0)/0×0(0)
Last flood scan length is 1, maximum is 2
Last flood scan time is 0 msec, maximum is 4 msec
Neighbor Count is 1, Adjacent neighbor count is 1
Adjacent with neighbor 150.1.5.5 (Hello suppressed)
Suppress hello for 1 neighbor(s)
4.2 OSPF
Interesting task:
Configure sw4 to match exactly the output below and nothing more:
sw4#sh ip os data | i Net Link States \(Area 34\)
Net Link States (Area 34)
Currently I show:
sw4#sh ip os data | i Net Link States \(Area 34\)
Net Link States (Area 34)
Summary Net Link States (Area 34)
So I need to get rid of Summary Net Link States (LSA 3). How to do this?
Stub networks? No:
OSPF Stubs:
| Type |
Keyword |
LSAs |
Default Injected? |
| stub |
area x stub |
1,2,3,4 |
Yes |
| totally stubby |
area x stub no-summary |
1,2,default of 3 |
Yes |
| not-so-stubby |
area x nssa |
1,2,3,4,7 |
NO |
| not-so-totally-stubby |
area x nssa no-summary |
1,2,default of 3,7 |
Yes |
The answer was easy — change the OSPF network type on po34 from Broadcast to Point-to-Point:
sw4#sh ip os int po34 | i Type
Process ID 100, Router ID 150.1.10.10, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1
sw4(config)#int po34
sw4(config-if)#ip os net point-to-point
sw3(config-if)#int po34
sw3(config-if)#ip os net point-to-point
sw4#sh ip os data | i Net Link States \(Area 34\)
Summary Net Link States (Area 34)
Task 4.2
4.3 EIGRP
This was a pretty basic EIGRP configuration with one exception. r1, r2, and r4 form a Frame Relay hub-and-spoke network. r1 and r2 (spokes) are running EIGRP, but EIGRP is not enabled on r4 (hub). Consequently, r1 and r2 are not peering though the Frame Relay cloud.
r2#sh ip ei int
IP-EIGRP interfaces for process 200
Xmit Queue Mean Pacing Time Multicast Pending

Se0/0/0 0 0/0 0 0/1 0 0
Se0/1/0 1 0/0 4 0/15 50 0
r2#sh ip ei nei

Can I disable EIGRP split-horizon on r4 even though it’s not running EIGRP?
r4(config)#int Serial0/0.124
r4(config-subif)#no ip split-horizon eigrp ?
<1-65535> Autonomous system number
r4(config-subif)#no ip split-horizon eigrp 200
It takes the command, but that’s not the fix:
r2#clear ip ei neighbors
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 200
H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq
(sec) (ms) Cnt Num
0 129.1.23.3 Se0/1/0 12 00:00:02 2 200 0 18
Okay….next try a neighbor command:
neighbor (EIGRP)
r2(config)#router ei 200
r2(config-router)#neigh 129.1.124.1 Serial0/0/0
r1(config)#router ei 200
r1(config-router)#neigh 129.1.124.2 s0/0
Sweet, sweet IOS music:
*Mar 1 21:17:56.758: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 200: Neighbor 129.1.124.2 (Serial0/0) is up: new adjacency
r2#sh ip ei nei
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 200
H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq

0 129.1.23.3 Se0/1/0 12 00:03:24 1 200 0 18
Alas, all of this effort was for naught. I didn’t read the task close enough. Instead I configured EIGRP based on the IGP diagram. That diagram shows the spokes’ Frame Relay interfaces in the EIGRP domain, BUT the task does not require that you configure them.
This posting discusses an anomaly in the solution guide (two EIGRP routes on sw1 showing as D EX in the solution guide):
