I have done the feasible success right for the routes heading to R7 AND R8 networks. However, when I typed this command ( R2#sh sir 150.100.78.0 ) at R2 this is what I get see below: R2(config)#do sir 150.100.78.0 Routing entry for 150.100.78.0/24 Known via "eigrp 1001", distance 90, metric 2707456, type internal Redistributing via eigrp 1001 Last update from 150.100.100.5 on Serial0/0.256, 00:11:16 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 150.100.100.5, from 150.100.100.5, 00:11:16 ago, via Serial0/0.256 ------} why the asterisk does not point at route path 150.100.25.5 instead? as mentioned at the workbook?
