Without being even close to touching the shoes of an EIGRP expert, I would
say that it is probably pretty normal to have to clear something when you
make a drastic change to the routing protocols running on your router(s).

Adding or removing networks shouldn't cause any trouble, but introducing or
removing a whole AS on the router is a major change.

You can compare it to when you start adding 'next-hop-self' or 'no
synchronization' on your BGP routers, you will have to clear the BGP.

Let's say I have the following topology:

A
|
|
B----------C
|
|
D

Routers A, B, and C are participating in EIGRP AS 1, so those three
routers are aware of everything except routes on the other side of D. 
Then, I add EIGRP AS 2 to routers B, C, and D but not A.  It's my
understanding that Router A will only be aware of the directly connected
links of routers B and C, and router D will only know of the directly
connected links of routers B and C.  Router A should not be aware of any
link on router D except for the B--D link.

Now, B has two topology tables with some duplicate routes learned from
router C, or at least it should.  As soon as I turn on eigrp AS 2 on B
and C, no routing information should be lost, correct?  If Router C is
advertising a given subnet via eigrp AS 1 and AS 2, router B should
always be aware of it no matter what, right?

Well, in my situation, as soon as eigrp AS 2 is implemented on B and C,
B loses all the routes advertised by C until I clear the eigrp
neighbors.  At that point this begins to work correctly.

Then, when I removed eigrp AS 2--leaving eigrp AS 1-- on B and C, those
routes disappear again!  As before, clearing the eigrp neighbors
resolves the issue but I don't understand why this would be happening. 
I believe it's a bug but I'm not sure.  There are some bugs related to
routes being in the topology table that aren't being inserted into the
routing table, but I don't know for certain those apply here.

Is my thinking correct here or am I missing something?

Thanks,
John

p.s.  Don't ask why I'm doing this, just go with me on it, okay?? ;-)
