It should say "show ip eigrp topology network." Network is the argument to
the command. I had it encapsulated in less than and greater than symbols so
it got munged by the mail server. Argh.
There's probably other ways to see the hop count too. Bottom line: the
router saves it. You just ha

You can't see the hop count with show ip route perhaps, but the router
certainly saves the in

It's not complicated. Is this Chuck Larrieu? You know that it's not
complicated.
Of course IP routing protocol packets are carried in an IP packet. No
biggie. They can set the IP TTL in the IP header t

BTW, it occurs to me that we have had this discussion before. There being
nothing in the routing table indicating IGRP or EIGRP hop counts, how does
(E)IGRP "know" the diameter of the network of which it is a member? And why
would it "care"? ;->
Maybe one of these days I'll daisy chain the router
it gets complicated, routing protocols versus ip packets.
first of all, if I understand correctly, all ip routing protocols use ip
headers. The routing protocol packet is the payload, and not an entity unto
itself. I have seen traces of OSPF packets showing IP TTL of various values.

You're confusing two issues.
Remember the router has two jobs: forwarding packets and learning the
topology. Hop count has to do with the latter and affects wha
to augment the other answers, the IP hop count is really the IP TTL value.
It can never exceed 255
EIGRP defaults to 100 hops, so I would expect that the routing packet IP TTL
is set at 100 at that point.

It's possible it's just a holdover from IGRP which does limit the diameter
of a network by checking the hop count.
But EIGRP may limit the number of hops too, depending on which document you
read. ;-) The following document says that the default max is 100 but can
be increased with the metric

Actually there are hop count limits that need to be adhered to when you
implement EIGRP for Appletalk and IPX. You can search on CCO and read all
about it.
