CCNP (642-902) EIGRP STUB Simulation


By increasing the first distant office, JS manufactures has extended their business. They configured the remote office router (R3) from which they can reach all Corporate subnets. In order to raise network stableness and lower the memory usage and broadband utilization to R3, JS manufactures makes use of route summarization together with the EIGRP Stub Routing feature. Another network engineer is responsible for the implementing of this solution. However, in the process of configuring EIGRP stub routing connectivity with the remote network devices off of R3 has been missing.

Presently JS has configured EIGRP on all routers in the network R2, R3, and R4. Your duty is to find and solve the connectivity failure problem with the remote office router R3. You should then configure route summarization only to the distant office router R3 to complete the task after the problem has been solved.
The success of pings from R4 to the R3 LAN interface proves that the fault has been corrected and the R3 IP routing table only contains two 10.0.0.0 subnets.

Answer:

First we have to figure out why R3 and R4 can not communicate with each other. Use the show running-config command on router R3.

eigrp
Notice that R3 is configured as a stub receive-only router. The receive-only keyword will restrict the router from sharing any of its routes with any other router in that EIGRP autonomous system. This keyword will also prevent any type of route from being sent. Therefore we will remove this command and replace it with the eigrp stub command:
R3# configure terminal R3(config)# router eigrp 123 R3(config-router)# no eigrp stub receive-only R3(config-router)# eigrp stub
R3(config-router)#
end

Now R3 will send updates containing its connected and summary routes to other routers. Notice that the eigrp stub command equals to the eigrp stub connected summary because the connected and summary options are enabled by default.
Next we will configure router R3 so that it has only 2 subnets of 10.0.0.0 network. Use the show ip route command on R3 to view its routing table

Because we want the routing table of R3 only have 2 subnets so we have to summary sub-networks at the interface which is connected with R3, the s0/0 interface of R4.

There is one interesting thing about the output of the show ip route shown above: the 10.2.3.0/24, which is a directly connected network of R3. We can’t get rid of it in the routing table no matter what technique we use to summary the networks. Therefore, to make the routing table of R3 has only 2 subnets we have to summary other subnets into one subnet.

In the output if we don’t see the summary line (like 10.0.0.0/8 is a summary…) then we should use the command ip summary-address eigrp 123 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 so that all the ping can work well.

In conclusion, we will use the ip summary-address eigrp 123 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 at the interface s0/0 of R4 to summary.

R4> enable R4# conf t
R4(config)# interface s0/0 R4(config-if)#
ip summary-address eigrp 123 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0

Now we jump back to R3 and use the show ip route command to verify the effect, the output is shown below:

Note: But please notice that the ip addresses and the subnet masks in your real exam might be different so you might use different ones to solve this question.
Just for your information, notice that if you use another network than 10.0.0.0/8 to summary, for example, if you use the command ip summary-address eigrp 123 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 you will leave a /16 network in the output of the show ip route command.

ee3


But in your real exam, if you don’t see the line "10.0.0.0/8 is a summary, Null0" then you can summary using the network 10.2.0.0/16. This summarization is better because all the pings can work well.
Finally don’t forget to use the copy run start command on routers R3 and R4 to save the configurations.

R3(config-if)# end
R3#
copy run start
R4(config-if)# end
R4#
copy run start

Note : If copy run start command doesn’t work then use write memory.

Cisco Packet Tracer Multi User Connection

Multiuser communication allows multiple point-to-point (peer) connections between multiple instances of Packet Tracer. By allowing communication between Packet Tracer instances, a new door has been opened to a fun, interactive, social, collaborative, and competitive learning environment. Instructors will now be able to create a variety of activities for students to learn in groups that will facilitate greater social interaction between students. Students will benefit from this environment by working together to solve problems and share ideas. Both students and teachers should take full advantage that Multiuser will offer in their learning environment. Technical Information Communicates between instances using PTMP. PTMP is TCP based. By default, uses TCP port 38000, is customizable, and each new instances on the same PC will use the next available port. On by default.

Access Control List (ACL) Simlet

An administrator is trying to ping and telnet from Switch to Router with the results shown below: For this question we only need to use the show running-config command to answer all the questions below: Router>enable Router#show running-config   Question 1 Which will fix the issue and allow ONLY ping to work while keeping telnet disabled? A. Correctly assign an IP address to interface fa0/1 B. Change the ip access-group command on fa0/0 from “in” to “out” C. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 115 in. D. Remove access-group 102 out from interface s0/0/0 and add access-group 114 in E. Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 104 in Answer : E Explanation: The question was not about FTP so skip line #1 and line #2. The line #3 denies telnet traffic and line #4 permits icmp-echo traffic. L...

Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping?

Refer to the exhibit. Host A pings interface S0/0 on router 3. What is the TTL value for that ping? A. 252 B. 253 C. 254 D. 255 Answer : B Explanation: The TTL or Time-To-Live gives you an indication of the number of routers between the source and destination. The TTL is used to prevent an IP packet from looping inside an IP network and causing a network meltdown. The initial TTL packet value for an IP packet is 255 and then it is decremented by 1 each time it encounters a router. When this value reaches 0, the packet is discarded by a router. The TTL value is contained in each IP packet including ICMP packets. The TTL value given by the ping command is in fact the TTL value of an echo_response packet. By default, Windows will decrease the TTL by 128 and Ubuntu Linux by 192. The above the exact topology of this questions. I used 10.0.0.1 for Host A’s IP address and 12.0.0.2 for R3 S0/0’s IP address. All router has been config...
