As i continuing my journey towards my ccnp route i made a lab to test my skills in EIGRP over the frame relay networks
First when i configured i got two problems to get the full convergence over frame-relay so i had to read a little bit more about the frame-relay.The two issues are
Split Horizon: Don't send the route update on the same interface it has received on.
In frame relay HUB and SPOKE setup the spoke to spoke communication happen through HUB so if there are any networks behind SPOKES those networks cannot be sent to other spoke because of split horizon.so i disabled this both on interface and subinterface of HUB.
HUB:
interface Serial0/1
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
no ip split-horizon eigrp 90
!
interface Serial0/1.1 multipoint
ip address 10.2.0.1 255.255.255.248
no ip split-horizon eigrp 90
EIGRP sends "HELLO" on every 60 seconds on frame relay network and 3 times of it is "HOLD DOWN" timer which is 180 seconds and these "HELLO's" are sent to multicast address "224.0.0.10" we know that frame-relay is "non-broadcast multiple access(NBMA)" which it doesn't allow broadcast or multicast address so it uses "pseudo broadcast"which a kind of broadcast which mainly depends on frame-relay map commands.
So while configuring frame relay maps make sure that all the commands ends with broadcast.
EXAMPLE:
frame-relay map ip 10.2.0.2 102 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 10.2.0.3 103 broadcast
If we dont configure with broadcast word at the end of the frame-relay map then router adjacency flaps.i removed "frame-relay map ip 10.2.0.3 103 broadcast" map command on HUB and configured as "frame-relay map ip 10.2.0.3 103" and you will observe the following error.
*Mar 1 00:23:34.131: %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP(0) 90: Neighbor 10.2.0.3 (Serial0/1.1) is down: retry limit exceeded
