[nsp] IP-EIGRP: Neighbor A.B.C.D not on common subnet...

Hi Oliver,
I can connect sniffer if needed.
The hellos are coming from multiple hosts on vlan4 and it all seems
valid hosts for vlan4.
I tried the suggested ACL and I get such logs:
Jan 29 16:00:14 IST: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGRP: list 100 permitted eigrp
A.B.4.D (FastEthernet0/0 0060.3ef3.5530) -> 224.0.0.10, 1 packet
I verifed that the mac address belongs to the router with the IP in
vlan4 and it looks ok.
An important detail I might have left out: the routers complaining about
the hellos are on another switch connected which has trunk to the switch
of the routers sending the hellos (vlan4) and are on the Native vlan of
that switch. However Vlan4 is not even allowed on the trunk.
Are you sure it is not a normal behaviour to flood unknown multicat
packets out all ports ?, what about the command "port block multicast"
described here:
