ICND2 – EIGRP Troubleshooting Simulator

October 16th, 2014 in Premium Zone Go to comments

You can try the EIGRP Troubleshooting Simulator here:

+ EIGRP Troubleshooting Simulator

and read the explanation here.

Note: There is another version of this sim in which the answer for the question “A user on R1 wants to send data to R5. Which path are the packets sent?” is “The traffic is equally load-balanced over R2 and R3”. Therefore please check the “show ip route” output carefully to see if there are more than one route to the destination.

    LISTEN UP!!!!! I can’t stress the importance of NOT memorizing answers, but understanding the material. This sim ate my lunch! Not because I didnt understand the material, BUT because I wanted to answer the questions in the manner I remembered the choices being… AND IM GLAD I DIDNT.

    The questions and answer choices were the same. What was different was Cisco’s configurations. So in return, that made the answer choices totally different for every question in this sim. I for one, can’t stress that its important to know your “SH” commands, and knowing them thoroughly.

    I distinctly remember one of the questions being about why a Loopback wont ping another, on a different router. After running show ip int brief command, which this sim doesn’t allow you to do, it should the Loopbacks ADMINISTRATIVELY shut down. That was the answer, but in this sim, i think the answer was AS numbers being different or network command not being present, or something of that nature.

    Long story short, be READY for the bamboozle and you’ll be fine.

    QPing Question=Command ? Which command shows missing network statent?

    QPath R1-R5=
    “show run” from R5 =(Lo 10.5.5.5)(the highest loopback address)

    Q”Show ip route” from R1 = D 10.5.5.5 via s1/3 (s1/3 is connected to R2)
    no eigrp neighbor relationship between R6 and R1.=?

    QLoopback int on R4 not appearing in Rout Table of R5=”Show Ip protocols” First line has AS number; ie “routing protocol is EIGRP 2” (2 IS THE A.S. Number)

    I’m drawing blanks today. Please complete my emties somone. you think you know it and then……

    having another look and using the scroll bar beside the sim(not seen before) my missing answers i believe are “show running-config ” to view the eigrp network statements which dont show the two ip addresses as mentioned above.

  7. Roger that!
    December 29th, 2014

    QPing- Do ‘sh run’ on R1, you’ll notice a missing network stmt for the only loopback interface on R1.

    Check R5 as well to see the difference.

  8. Roger that!
    December 29th, 2014

    QPath R1-R5

    There’re 2 ways to solve this, both using ‘sh ip rou’ command on R1 but the easier option is just to look at the outgoing interface for R5’s loopback interfaces (10.5.5.5 & 10.5.5.55), both via serial1/3 which connects to R2.

  9. Roger that!
    December 29th, 2014

    QPath R1 – R5

    That’s why ‘traffic goes through R2’ is the right answer.

    R4 is the only router in the network with ASN 2… glad you found the problem!

    I can totally see the missing statement using show run for the ping question so I’m assuming that show run is available in the real test? If it is disabled is the another way to check for those missing statements? It seems that show ip protocols makes it look like the networks are there or perhaps I’m looking at it wrong?

  14. Techgique
    February 16th, 2015

    One last thing for the peanut gallery – When I use show ip protocols and see a “P” code, representing passive, that is referring to the protocol and NOT the interface (which could cause failed neighboring) correct?

  15. On the Spot
    March 6th, 2015

    @Techgique, that is correct. The P is a good thing. It does NOT refer to a passive-interface, which would, in fact, be a bad thing.

    Q4 – R5 Loopback1 sho int Loopback1 shows that the IP address as 10.4.4.5/32 (R4’s Loopback 1 address) even though sho run shows Lo1 IP as 10.5.5.55. Obviously a typo as the two cannot co-exist, but misleading considering the answer options.

    I passed yesterday ICND2, I would like to share the problem I faced during the exam. EIGRP simulator comes in my exam but show ip eigrp topology command is not working it gives me error that incomplete command. Do somebody know what is the problem on this command. It was working here in 9tut.

    EIGRP and Frame Relay sims both on test. Scored 907 Study 9tut and pass it. Question on EIGRP sim asked what password required for the mideast router, I chose T1net as it was right below the vty 0 4 line on show run command. On the router user interface the lower case L and number 1 look very similar or same and the answers the number 1 looks more clearly like a 1. Little bit question mark because not the same font. Cisco make number 1 look exactly like lower case L they should make a change.

    use show ip protocol command and find the AS number of the router. R4 was incorrect AS number same as 9tut sim. Remember enable first then use show run
    Frame Relay sim use show frame-relay map and find the DLCI numbers for IP addresses
    use show interface and find default serial encapsulation DHCP

    Am doing my test next Thursday, I found the “sh ip eigrp topology” very useful when it comes to finding the feasible successor route for the sim. This will show you the route 192.168.12.0 and 192.168.13.0 take to get to router5

    Best of luck to everyone completing the ICND2.

    I studied 9tut, CBT Nuggets and Lynda. Practiced exam questions with a VCE sim and utilised 9tut’s EIGRP and Frame-Relay simulator.

    Practicing with VCE simulators allows to keep the information fresh I’ve found. So good luck and study hard.

    Frame-Relay, EIGRP and OSPF sims were in the exam. Frame-Relay and EIGRP required interaction with show commands etc where OSPF only showed the topology with multiple choice questions.

    No VTP, NAT or IPv6 was experienced.

    why does ‘sh ip ro’ not work on R6 in the sim? It doesn’t show invalid it shows no results.

  40. Woonabega
    March 17th, 2016

    So for the ping question the answer is “The network statement is missing on R1”. I understand why but the answer I chose was “The IP address that is configured on the Lo1 interface on R5 is incorrect.” I chose that answer because if you do a “show int Lo1” on R5 the IP address configured appears to be 10.4.4.5/32. Can anyone explain why the one I chose was not correct or did I just not choose the best correct answer?

  41. Steve
    March 17th, 2016

    The question which path does R1 take to R5, if you use show ip route, it shows both R2 and R3 are used to get to R5. The answer “The traffic goes through R2”, doesn’t make sense.

    On Q which path does traffic take from R1 to R5

    why wouldn’t the answer be that traffic is unequally load balanced between R2 and R3? Instead of going thru R2 only….Anybody know?

  48. Anonymous
    May 24th, 2016

    I think from R1 to R5 would be unequally load balanced R2 has the 192.x.12.0 R3 has the 192.x.13.0. Both R2 and R3 have the eigrp network statement 192.x.123.0 that leads them to R5 which is also networked with the 192.x.123.0 which then will point the traffic to the 10.5.5.55 10.5.5.5 10.10.10.0 networks.

    @Anonymous
    I was just T-Shooting your theory and you are not correct.
    Here is why:
    If you run a “show ip eigrp topology” on R1 it states that you are using R3 as a Feasible Successor and NOT a successor. Also there is not use of a “variance” commmand in the running-config, so that would instantly disprove your theory of unequal-cost load balancing.

    “On Q which path does traffic take from R1 to R5

    why wouldn’t the answer be that traffic is unequally load balanced between R2 and R3? Instead of going thru R2 only….Anybody know?”

    Traffic from R1 to R5 goes through R2 because that is the path shown in the routing table. There is no path to R5 via R3.

    Sh ip route

    10.5.5.5 via 192.168.2.2 serial 1/3
    10.5.5.55 via 192.168.2.2 serial 1/3
    192.168.123.0/24 via 192.168.2.2 serial 1/3

    Networks above are attached to R5. 192.168.2.2 is R2 s2/1 interface and serial 1/3 is R1 outgoing interface.

    “got a simple questions:
    How is it possible run EIGRP thru those two switches SW1 and SW2 unless those switches are layer 3 switches and IP routing configured?”

    I’m guessing because all E/0 ints on R2,R3,R4 and R5 are in the same subnet and I’m also guessing the no auto-summary command is used even though I cant see it.

    Calm down dear, but I understand what you are saying, I had to do all you mention above when I first did my CCNA, now I’m following the paper champs and just memorizing the answers given. Its what separates those who know what they are doing and keeps our jobs safe. Its not so bad

  54. suntzuthegod

    @Anonymous
    The questions are to be thought of as seperate questions, not really digging deeper than the question asks. For instance, someone said how can the EIGRP route go through the switches when those switches are layer2 switches and not layer3 switches with ip routing enabled.

    The point being, it really doesn’t matter, its just for test taking purposes. Just read what that specific question is asking for and do not think of it logically as in what would happen in a real true network.

    For a real network question in an interview they would say you have to configure it to run across L2 switches or you have L3 switches already set up.

    But this is just a test of basic knowledge of the EIGRP not “connect” or communicating issue. It isn’t to be used as an all encompassing “figure out the complete network including switches, and Ethernet cables along with serial interfaces” Its for EIGRP not static routing, wan connections, vlans, trunk ports, frame relay, etc.

    Also, for anyone taking this test, AGAIN, do not memorize the answers. This should be used strictly for understanding the concepts of HOW THE QUESTION will be asked, not what the question will ask you specifically.

    If you use the command: ” sh ip int br” on router 5 then:

    Loopback1 10.5.5.55

    while, the command: “sh int lo1″ on same router shows:

    Internet Address is 10.4.4.5/32″

    so the answer which says: ” The IP address that is configured on the Lo1 interface on R5 is incorrect”

    could be correct too!

    Am I right?

  66. stevicus
    September 23rd, 2016

    Passed 200-105 today with 918, almost all questions from these dumps, 4-5 new questions.
    All three labs from this materials with different questions.
    Eigrp lab included route path question where variance had been used (uneaqually ballanced routes), another router used autosum, so be careful.

    As a truth, I would recommend you to read Oddoms cisco press first, step by step, you won’t pass the exam if you do not understand, how things work. But another point is silly tricky unobvious questions, where 9tut dumps help a lot.

    Router R6 does not form an EIGRP neighbor relationship correctly with router R1. What is the cause for this misconfiguration? Under show run, the network command is present but the K values is mismatch. The correct answer is: the K values mismatch. Note: The k value has to do with metric configuration and R1 is missing that configuration.

  85. sunrise
    March 17th, 2018

    Which path does traffic take from R1 to R5? After reviewing the sh ip route command output on R1, I realized that it has two equal cost path with both IP addresses belonging to R2 and R3. The correct Answer is: . The traffic is equally load-balanced over R2 and R3. You can verify this with the sh ip int br command on both R2 and R3.

  86. sunrise
    March 17th, 2018

    Study the following output taken on R1:
    R1#ping 10.5.5.55 source 10.1.1.1
    Type escape sequence to abort.
    Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.5.5.55, timeout is 2 seconds:
    Packet sent with a source address of 10.1.1.1
    . . . . .
    Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

    Why are the pings failing?

    10.5.5.55 is an IP address which belong to R5. you can verify this with the sh ip int br command and all the links are up, protocol up so we do not have any layer 2 issues. However, R1 is advertised network 10.1.1.1 in EIGRP. But R5 isn’t advertised network 10.5.5.5.55 in EIGRP. So the correct answer is The network statement is missing on R5

    The loopback interfaces on R4 with the IP addresses of 10.4.4.4/32, 10.4.4.5/32 and 10.4.4.6/32 are not appearing in the routing table of R5. Why are the interfaces missing? They are in the same AS but the loopback addresses haven’t been advertised, and the network command is missing on R4. you can verify this with the sh run command on both router.

    The correct answer is: The loopback addresses haven’t been advertised, and the network command is missing on R4.

    As far as I know these dumps are reliable, I have tried it with my previous exam in ICND1. but even though this exist, You still need to know the knowledge, learn by reading book and watching video tutorials. just dont memorize the answer. There is no easy way,the easy way is the hard way.

    @9tut, it would be great if you have explanation page for ICND2 – EIGRP Troubleshooting Simulator. I couldn’t find one.

    Thanks

    Passed today 880

    54 Questions in total. If you are going to take the exam soon:
    – Understand the EIGRP sim, don’t just know the answer by heart because they have changed the questions but the sim is the same. Read through the EIGRP explanation here on 9tut, and you’ll be fine
    – Understand OSPF sim
    – Focus more on ALL the NEW questions here, THEY ARE ALL VALID..!! Know the drag and drops..!
