EIGRP over frame-relay


Story:
=====
The basic idea of this lab was to create a frame relay network using EIGRP. We have three routers R1, R2 and R3 connected to a frame relay switch. R1 is the hub.

I felt that the lab will be easy but I am going wrong somewhere. I created the frame relay network and configured EIGRP over it and I am able to ping one spoke router from another spoke router. But then I created loopbacks on R2 and advertised them using EIGRP but R1 is not learning those addresses.

Config:

On R1:
======
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no ip split-horizon eigrp 1
 clock rate 2000000
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.10 101
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.30 101 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.20 102 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
end
!
R1#sh run | sec eigrp
 no ip split-horizon eigrp 1
router eigrp 1
 network 0.0.0.0
 no auto-summary
R1#

On R2:
======
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.10.10.20 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 2000000
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.20 203
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.30 203
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.10 203
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
end
!
R2#sh run | sec eigrp
router eigrp 1
 network 0.0.0.0
 no auto-summary
R2#

On R3:
======
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.10.10.30 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 clock rate 2000000
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.30 202
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.20 202
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.10 202
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
end
!
R3#sh run | sec eigrp
router eigrp 1
 network 0.0.0.0
 no auto-summary
R3#

  1. Found the solution!!!

    I did nt use broadcast command on R2 and R3 frame relasy config. Since eigrp adv are multicast addresses you need to enable pseudo broadcast to convert the multicast packets to unicast..

    Config on R2 and R3 now:
    =======================
    On R2:
    !
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 10.10.10.20 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    clock rate 2000000
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.20 203
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.30 203 broadcast
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.10 203 broadcast
    no frame-relay inverse-arp
    end
    !
    On R3:
    !
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 10.10.10.30 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    clock rate 2000000
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.30 202
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.20 202 broadcast
    frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.10 202 broadcast
    no frame-relay inverse-arp
    end
    !
    R3#sh ip route
