the K values in ROUTER2 is misconfigured and can be fixed by issue the command :

R2(config-router)#metric weights10100

The K values on the second router is not matching with first router ,which is set to default as below.

By setting K value to default as below, neigborship will come up

 

Default values,

K1=K3=1

K2=K4=K5=0

 

 

R2(config-router)#metric weights10100

Try matching the metric weights by changing the metric weight of router2 to10110. I hope this will solve the problem of connectivity

The K values should be matching on both ends. We see here that K2=1 on second router. Kindly set K2=0 and on2nd router and it should be fine.

There are many things here needs to be modified, if you are looking for better and easier learning, more than only troubleshooting the neighbor relationship problem which can be solved by matching the k-values on both routers.

 

To enable EIGRP on the router interfaces, simply, you can use these network commands on both routers without using the wildcard mask:

 

Router(config-router)#network192.168.10.0

Router(config-router)#network192.168.20.0

 

If there are interfaces that you don't need EIGRP to be enabled on, simply, use the passive interface command.

 

There is no need for the static neighbor EIGRP command on both routers, as both routers will be EIGRP neighbors using dynamic neighbor discovery.

You will need change the Metric

Its pretty simple.Just change the metric

Sajjad Ali
by Sajjad Ali , Personal Assistant , Population welfare

We must change/configure metric values to equal on both routers i.e values of k. It should be same.
