EIGRP Maximum-Paths

Community,
If I have 2 or more equal cost paths to a network where EIGRP is load balancing across them by default, if i issue the "Maximum-Paths 1" command, how does EIGRP decide which path to keep in the routing table and which to get rid of? How can this be deterministic in nature?

  • RIP/EIGRP maximum number of Equal cost routes

    I am looking for documentation on:
    If a router has 20 equal cost routing paths and only 4 show up in the routing table, what is the determining factor that chooses which four and where are the other 16 put in case the 4 routes become unusable.
    Most documentation will tell you the maximum amount and how to change it but I have not found any documentation on how EIGRP or RIP chooses the routes.

    You can have up to 4 by default, but you can configure the routing table to accept up to 6 on older code, and up to 8 on newer code, using the command "maximum-paths" under router eigrp. EIGRP will attempt to install all of the available paths, but the routing table will only allow it to install the first x that it installs.
    The routes which are not installed by EIGRP are placed in a "backup table." If one route fails, each routing protocol running on the router is notified, and will attempt to install any routes (which match the destination, of course) back into the routing table. Again, the frst x paths would win.
    Be careful with this much redundancy in eigrp--you're playing with fire if you have 15 or 20 links between a pair of routers.Russ

  • Load Balancing with OSPF and maximum-paths command

    Hello,
    Just a quick query really, we have a disribution layer 3 switch, in its routing table it has 3 default routes all with the same metric from the core router, this is because the core router is setup with the comamnd "default-information originate always metric 50" which obviously proagates the default route around the area and the metric never changes from 50.
    So i have a routing table that looks like this:
    O*E2 0.0.0.0/0 [110/50] via 77.95.176.9, 06:44:51, GigabitEthernet4/9
                   [110/50] via 77.95.176.17, 06:44:51, Vlan903
                   [110/50] via 91.203.72.5, 06:44:51, Vlan262
    Three default routes with the same metric, does this mean that the router IOS will load balance traffic over all three routes evenly?  I mean i have been reading up on it and appartemtly i dont have the command "maximum-paths 3" under my ospf process?
    I have been doing some traceroutes from this switch to the internet (various sites) and all the traffic seems to be going out over the first  route in the table that next hop is 77.95.176.9
    My question is how can i verify that load balancing is taking place, or if its not then i need to add this "maximum-paths 3" command to the ospf on the local switch?  I would say load balancing is not taking place but im sure i have seen traffic from one customer being routes over all 3 paths due to matching spikes on the SNMP sensors?
    Many Thanks.

    Yes, your traffic should use all three paths, as Rick notes, OSPF, on Cisco, normally defaults to using up to 4 equal cost paths.
    As Rick also notes mentioning CEF, how actual traffic is forwarded across ECMP can vary.  Often, the device will keep all traffic for the same flow on the same egress port, and attributes selected for actual egress port selection might be deterministic.  I.e. it's possible same traffic flow will always be sent to the same egress port.  (This means even with ECMP, you may not see an equal load distribution.)

  • Maximum path length

    Is there a maximum number of characters a file's absolute path can have?

    When Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard clients and servers are used exclusively, the path length limit is increased to *250 characters*. If any clients or servers in use are running an earlier software version, the path limit for the earlier software version should be observed.
    More detailed questions of this sort should be posted in the Unix forum for best results.
    Hope this helps.

  • No "Throwable" when  maximum path length of  NSS-Drive is exceeded!

    Hi,
    I have the problem that when I access a NSS-Drive (Novell Storage Services) via Windows (Java is running under Windows XP) that an exceeding path (bigger the 255 chars) produces no Throwable (Error or Exception whether checked or unchecked).
    At my system the "Novell Client Version 4.91 SP 1" is running.
    Even
    try {
                   System.out.println(new File(name).createNewFile());
                  catch (IOException ioe) {
                   ioe.printStackTrace();
                  }returns true, but nothing happens on the file system.
    Also new FileOutputStream(
                       name) doesn't complains.
    On local ntfs-drives this limit doesn't applies.
    At the moment I check if the path exceeds 255 chars and pop up a Warning about that, but that's just a ugly workaround.
    Any suggestions to avoid this?
    Is this a known bug?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Greetings Michael

    If a file isn't created (with a truncated name) and there isn't any I/O exception then this is likely to be bug in the Novell Client or in Windows. The createNewFile simply calls the Win32 CreateFile function to create the file and if it fails then an I/O exception is thrown. Can you test with a simple C program to see if you observe the same issue?

  • 6880 in VSS Mode and OSPF maximum paths

    Hi Folks,
    I have an issue observed in testing.  We have implemented a VSS solution on the 6880-X-LE.  We have two MEC L3 PO's upstream and thus two OSPF path's for our default route.  After creating an event in the lab to put the boxes in Active - Active (pulled VSL links off SW1) and then go through the process of restoring the VSS (put VSL links back in) I noticed my additional path did not restore.
    From the restoration perspective, it went as follows:
    Sw1 - Active SW2-standby - pull VSL links
    VSL PO goes down
    SW1 - Active SW2 - Active (sub second traffic impact)
    SW1 - enters recovery mode SW2 - Active
    VSL links back in  - VSL PO up
    SW1 - reboots and comes up standby SW2 - Active
    Routing table now only shows entry for PO200 and no routes can go out PO100.

    Hi Reza,
    I can't post the configuration. However, I can tell you that I have a TAC case open with Cisco and they agree with me that this behavior requires further investigation.  So the "PO" in question disappears seems to match when I get the error related to the a port-member not being compatible:
    Jan 26 15:18:17 est: %EC-SW2_STBY-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Te2/3/14 is not compatible with Te1/5/14 and will be suspended (speed of Te2/3/14 is 10G, Te1/5/14 is 1000M)
    So what happens is that in PO100 you'll see only one bundled port and the other is suspended.  This causes OSPF to withdraw the PO from the routing table (hypothesis but reproducible).  
    In our trial production launch, I performed the same test above redundancy force-switchover and you'll see both entries in the routing-table. Once the other modules come up and I get a suspended port-member that particular PO disappears from the routing table. 
    If you shut/no shut that PO, the PO returns as an available path in the routing table.  In production we are not using GLC-T (as in the lab) but are using GLC-SX-MM.  The bug that puts this member into a suspended state falls under the this bug id:
    CSCur17071
    What I missed initially is the fact, that the routing table removes that PO from being an available path even though it still has an active port-member.
    Cheers,
    Rash

  • EIGRP Best Path

    Hi Guys
    I have 2 routed links between two sites a 10G on 10G bearer and 5G on 10G bearer. Will be configuring EIGRP either side. How can I get the traffic to primarily use the 10G link. 
    May be a simple question for someone. Any help will be much appreciated. Someone mentioned something about using a bandwidth command.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The bandwidth command should do it.  Here is doc with config example:
    R2# configure terminal
    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    R2(config)# interface ethernet0
    R2(config-if)# bandwidth 5000
    R2(config-if)# end

  • Unequal Load Balancing with EIGRP over 4 Wireless networks

    We are trying to load-balance on 4 interfaces that have unequal bandwidths. The setup looks like this
    8 Computers -> Empty Config Switch -> 3560 Router\Switch -> 4x Wireless Radios on different frequencies - networks -> 3560 Router\Switch->Empty Config Switch -> 8 Computers
    We have EIGRP setup and the bandwidths defined, and the routes are showing proper share counts, but once we start adding traffic to the network, they all jump on one of the links. The config and everything looks right, its just not working. I have tried switching to different cef algorithms. Removed the vlans . I made them equal cost and they did the same thing. Its like EIGRP does not want to load balance.
    When i did this config with static routes or as OSPF, it actually load balanced them, but I'm stuck with a 1:1 share ratio. If i could control the ratio, then that would be an acceptable solution.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Also, I was sending data trough iperf from 4 computers + 1 comp steaming video on one network to 5 computers on another network.  In any case of source or destination, it should have switched over.  The odds of it all going on Vlan 5 is ~ 0.6%   Restarting the router sometimes places it all on a different vlan, but in any case its all or nothing.

    However, access list 20 is constructed as follows:
    access-list 20 permit 0.0.0.0
    access-list 20 deny any
    If you have a distribute-list statement within EIGRP but the ACL permits 0.0.0.0, does that make any incoming/outgoing updates passive in any way? The remote routers connected to the WAN have no passive/no passive configuration parameters. Only the core WAN routers do.
    Please advise.

    Marking a remote stub does not, today, restrict what routes are advertised to the stub router, they just limit the queries to the stub routers. So, you'd still need the hub side distribute list to block the routes out to the stubs. A distribute list doesn't block queries, by the way, it just limits knowledge of routing information, which impacts how far a query will go.... You should definitely make the remotes stubs to reduce the query range, in other words, even with this distribute list configured.
    At any rate, there is a feature planned for the future to make it where you could turn on an option at the stub router to make the hub router automatically filter everything but the default out.

  • EIGRP Wide-metric support

    It appears EIGRP only sends the classic-scale-metrics while operating in non-named configuration mode (E.G. router eigrp # ) AND Always sends the wide-metric format while operating in Named Configuration mode (E.G. router eigrp ROCKS) regardless of the 15.2 IOS version.
    When my router is running in Named config mode, sh eigrp protocols reveals K6=0,
    when I remove the Named config and use the legacy router eigrp # config mode, the same sh eigrp protocols does not list the K6=0 value (only K1 - K5).
    The reason I ask is the Cisco white paper (EIGRP Wide Metrics) dated Nov 2012, states if a legacy EIGRP peer is interfacing with a new EIGRP peer, the new EIGRP peer will send both formats. - Is this doc outdated by a newer doc?
    Thanks
    Frank

    Update- The original title should be referred to as EIGRP Virtual-Instance (that does support the legacy 32-bit metric and just might also support the 64-bit wide metrics; depending on your configuration).
    Viewing the show command (Show command 1) based on EXAMPLE CONFIG 1 below, it's clear the K6 value is not used; only the K1 - K5 values.
    If address-family vrf was implemented, as shown in EXAMPLE 2, it's clear the new wide-metric is in effect.
    The question still remains, how does an EIGRP peer configured to recognize link speeds greater than 10Gbps interact with EIGRP peers that are not operating in 64-bit mode? What do the configurations look like for each of the peers?
    ANYONE know?

  • File path too long when collecting??...

    Hi all,
    REALLY hope someone has some wisdom on this! I've searched forums and the web and not yet found an answer....
    I've got a MASSIVE project on an external drive that's on the way out, so I want to collect the project that's on it to another new healthy drive. The current file structure leaves alot to be desired (several years of updating the same project and splitting it into managable portions then importing them back together several times, files still on there that aren't in use in AE anymore but have been kept 'incase we need them again later', etc...you can imagine the mess!)
    SO, I'm getting the 'file path too long' error when trying to collect it. Now, I could manually go through every folder and sub folder and tidy things up within AE - this would days about a week I reckon! - but I'll do it if that's the only way. What I'm wondering is this: -
    A) is the problem AE is having with the deep structure *WITHIN* ae project, or with the actual folders/files on the disk itself?
    B) if I tidy it up in AE only will that fix it?
    C) is there an easier way to do this rather than manually going through everything and looking for the offenders???
    Thanks guys,
    Jim.

    GULP....so I have to reorganise my assets OUTSIDE of AE and then relink it all WITHIN AE afterwards?? With 3 x 430GB projects and thousands of assets that is going to take a looooooooonng time.
    What I don't understand (or like) is how AE will let you get this far without any warning and still operate/save, etc but then when you come to collect is goes 'urr urrrr, computer says no'.
    Is there really no way of automating some of this then? I mean even a script that highlighted items in the project that are over the maximum path length would save a hell of a lot of manual searching and counting.
    Thanks for your replies guys but.....AAAARRGGHH!!!!!

  • EIGRP on Cat3750

    For EIGRP equal path loadbalancing, when i do a traceroute from one switch to another, there are some kind of loop happen. is this normal when we configure equal path loadbalancing?
    This is my setup:
    172.16.168.1---------C1---172.16.78.2---------172.16.78.1---C2
    C1---172.16.78.6---------172.16.78.5---C2
    C2 Config:
    router eigrp 7008
    passive-interface default
    no passive-interface FastEthernet1/0/23
    no passive-interface FastEthernet1/0/24
    network 172.16.78.0 0.0.0.3
    network 172.16.78.4 0.0.0.3
    no auto-summary
    C1 Config:
    router eigrp 7008
    passive-interface default
    no passive-interface FastEthernet1/0/23
    no passive-interface FastEthernet1/0/24
    network 172.16.78.0 0.0.0.3
    network 172.16.78.4 0.0.0.3
    network 172.16.168.0 0.0.0.255
    no auto-summary
    C2 traceroute to C1:
    Type escape sequence to abort.
    Tracing the route to 172.16.168.1
    1 172.16.78.6 0 msec
    172.16.78.2 0 msec
    172.16.78.6 0 msec
    c2#traceroute 172.16.168.1
    Type escape sequence to abort.
    Tracing the route to 172.16.168.1
    1 172.16.78.2 0 msec
    172.16.78.6 0 msec
    172.16.78.2 0 msec

    This isn't a loop, it's normal traceroute functioning, or it should be. This is the result of trace packets being sent through different available paths. Note that the source is the local router, and, AFAIK, all locally sourced packets are still "process switched," so per packet load sharing would be the norm in this situation, rather than per flow or source/destination pair.

  • (High Ip input) on My router , I need to troubleshoot why CPU is high !!!!

    (High Ip input) on My router  , I need to troubleshoot why CPU is high !!!!
    =================
    i have a cisco router 7200 NPEG2 processor , worked as LNS for PPPOVPDN circuits (Router for ADSL clients)
    i  have "high ip input on my processor" and there is alot of differnce on my router between operations done by cef and operations done by router cpu
    as an example , lets make show cpu process sorted

    =====================
    as we see above , we have high "IP Input" about differnece in cpu =67-54=13 % , which is high value process in software .
    i follwed the article here :
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/7500-series-routers/41160-highcpu-ip-input.html
    i check and found that my router is fine , 
    no arp calls.
    no routing loops.
    no flapping links.
    i checked that my router has cef enabled and no enormous routing protocol updates
    i found that i have big differnce between hardware & software process on the router which is 13 %
    but when the traffic is more and more , the cpu reach reach 93 % and begin to have drops.
    i just want to ask , how can i debug the operations that are done on the cpu processor of the router ???
    i mean that if i know that traffic , i can estimate and know the problem  that increasing my cpu !!!
    another question :
    how to debug the packest that has a ttl exceeded 50 or ttl exceeded 100 ?????
    i dont wan tto make debug ip packed , because i have a huge traffic and it will let my router hanged due to large debug !!
    ===============
    righ now i will post my router config and some verification:

  • RIP V1

    Hello im having a very basic topolgy where 2 routers directly connected and running RIP V1
    Lo1----R1-155.10.2.1/24--------------155.10.2.2/24--R2
    Lo1 is 155.10.3.1/32
    Now what i know about RIP V1 is that it's Classful routing protocol so in this case R1 will advertise Lo1 to R2 without any subnet mask and when R2 recieve this it should either assign it as /24 since its in the same major network of the directly connected or /16 but in my case i can see 155.10.3.1/32 on R2 routing table how is this possible ???

    Hi,
    RIPv1 will not advertise  a subnet out the same major network if the mask is different  but there is one exception and this is host routes(if routers support it and Cisco router do).
    when receiving the route R2 looks for the host bit set in the host portion of the update and so applies the host mask of /32.
    Regards

  • IS-IS not working on ASR903.

    Hey you all
    I have a very strange problem regarding IS-IS routing process on an ASR903 router, that I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to get IS-IS up and running between an ASR903 router and a ME3600X switch. Between the two boxes is a service provider VPLS network. We have IS-IS running on other similar links between this ASR903 and another ME3600X switch also with a VPLS network between. We are running MPLS in our backbone and uses IS-IS as the underlay IGP. It looks like the two IS-IS routers can’t see each other. When I do a debug of isis adj-packets can I see that the ME3600X switch is sending ISIS hellos packets out but does not receive any in. The same debug on the ASR903 do not give anything. It seems like it not even sending ISIS hellos. Logging level debugging is on. The two boxes can ping each other without any problems.
    I have tried a couple of things when troubleshooting this problem. I have tried setting the network type to point-to-point, setting the clns mtu, disabled hello padding but nothing worked. I have also tried running OSPF over the link, and it worked without any problems. Then I tried to make a one-hop gre tunnel between them, and then run IS-IS over the gre tunnel and that also worked. When I issue the “show clns interface” command can I see that the “Next IS-IS LAN Level-2 Hello in” is always 0 on the ASR903 router on that interface. On the others interfaces that is running IS-IS the counter is changing. The same on the interface on the ME3600X switch.The software version on the ASR903 is for the IOS-XE is 3.13.1 and the IOS is 15.4(3).S1.
    Do you have any idea’s to what the problem could be? 
    Thanks
