I have an issue that i've never encountered I have a router that can reach an address but the devices whose default gateway is the router cannot reach the address. To be a bit more detail this is the situation. Since this device is a L3 switch i've created a vlan and gave the vlan interface an ip address 172.19.x.x and this interface is conntected directly to another L3 device at a remote site in vlan whose ip address is 172.19.x.x. I have PC's etc at the remote site whose ip address is also 172.19.x.x and the router and the local site can reach all the devices. However at the local site the ipaddress of vlan 1 is 5.1.126.x and clients is also 5.1.126.x. The clients have a default gw of 5.1.126.x and can ping the vlan interface of the local router which is 172.19.x.x however the clients can't reach the clients at the remote site whose ip's are also 172.19.x.x. I dont know what's the issue i'm pulling my hair out please help. I've placed a copy of the config on the local router as well as a route print of the client
 
what does the routing table look like on the remote site router?

You shouldn't have a subnet spanning two layer3 devices.

You have 1 layer3 device per site, each with a local subnet.
You should have a separate subnet providing the point-to-point link between the two layer 3 devices.

Why do you need EIGRP? Is this part of some larger network?
The only routing you need is a route on the 172.19... layer3 device identifying where the 5.... subnet is and vice-versa.

I assume the site you're trying to reach is linked to this router via f0/0/3?
What's a sh ip rout on this router show?
 
Thanks for all your help guys but i figured out the problem. I forgot to add a route in one of the downstream routers
 
that's what we were suspecting as well ;-)

glad you found it
