I've recently been looking around in a network here, and basically take a setup like this: (eigrp) r1 <-> r2 <-> r3 <-> r4 <-> r5 <-> r6 <-> r7 consider r1 and r7 to be end points, and r5 to be a major hub router. if i do a trace from r4 to r7 everything is fine if i do a trace from r3 to r7, i get 2 bounces at r5, but it finishes at r7 ok if i do a trace from r2 to r7, i get 3 bounces at r5, """"" trace from r1 to r7 gets 3 bounces at r5 as well. Now 1) Is this really a problem?, Traffic is going thru and latency times are all that crazy since it is a mixed isdn and frame enviroment. 2) if it IS a problem, is it not just a simple routing issue, like duplicate ips? By the way, tracking from the other side back to r1 goes exactly as it should. I've done sh ip routes from r1 r2 r3, etc to r5 and r7 and they only have 1, so everything 'seems' to be behaving as it should. I'm extremely new to this network I was messing with at the time and its huge, so I wanted to learn a lot more about it before actually messing with something. Rather than a straight solution, I'd perfer to see the steps taken to get to that direction. Thanks for any help!
