Looks like your feasible distance may be too high. Only one is showing up there in R7's table. Try tweaking your delay information on your redistributes to be more equal. Scott

That's the RIB where we're going to see the information showing up to make any sort of routing-table decision from.

LAB is as follow: R5 ------ R6 \ / \ / \ / R7 Both R5 and R6 are redistributing routes learned via OSPF (running above R5 and R6) into EIGRP. #### #R5# #### router eigrp 1 redistribute ospf 1 metric 1000 500 255 1 1500 #### #R6# #### router eigrp 1 redistribute ospf 1 metric 1000 100 255 1 1500 #### #R7# #### router eigrp 1 variance 6 <--- a variance of 2 should have been enough but I tried higher values even the max 128 but without success network 192.168.11.4 0.0.0.3 network 192.168.100.0 network 200.0.0.7 0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0> no auto-summary R7(config-router)#do sh ip protocol Routing Protocol is "eigrp 1" Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set Default networks flagged in outgoing updates Default networks accepted from incoming updates EIGRP metric weight K1=1, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0 EIGRP maximum hopcount 100 EIGRP maximum metric variance 6 Redistributing: eigrp 1 EIGRP NSF-aware route hold timer is 240s Automatic network summarization is not in effect Maximum path: 4 Routing for Networks: 192.168.11.4/30 192.168.100.0 200.0.0.7/32 Routing Information Sources: Gateway Distance Last Update 192.168.100.5 90 00:22:32 192.168.100.6 90 00:22:32 192.168.11.6 90 00:23:48 Distance: internal 90 external 170 When advertised only from R5: R7(config-router)#do sh ip route 200.0.0.4 Routing entry for 200.0.0.4/32 Known via "eigrp 1", distance 170, metric 2690560 Tag 200, type external Redistributing via eigrp 1 Last update from 192.168.100.5 on FastEthernet0/0, 00:00:16 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 192.168.100.5, from 192.168.100.5, 00:00:16 ago, via FastEthernet0/0 Route metric is 2690560, traffic share count is 1 Total delay is 5100 microseconds, minimum bandwidth is 1000 Kbit Reliability 255/255, minimum MTU 1500 bytes Loading 1/255, Hops 1 Route tag 200 When advertised from R6 and R5 Routing entry for 200.0.0.4/32 Known via "eigrp 1", distance 170, metric 2588160 Tag 200, type external Redistributing via eigrp 1 Last update from 192.168.100.6 on FastEthernet0/0, 00:00:01 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 192.168.100.6, from 192.168.100.6, 00:00:01 ago, via FastEthernet0/0 Route metric is 2588160, traffic share count is 1 Total delay is 1100 microseconds, minimum bandwidth is 1000 Kbit Reliability 255/255, minimum MTU 1500 bytes Loading 1/255, Hops 1 Route tag 200 The only way I managed to have both routes into R7 is when having the same redistribute metrics on R5 and R6, but of course that was not the idea of this lab. I also try to clear my neighbors a few times but I always got the same result I'm probably missing something but I can't figure it out. If you have any idea that could help me, that would be great.
