I just complete a frenetic go-through of the Slattery/Burton book - chapter
5 - OSPF section
One section touches on redistribution between RIP 2 and OSPF ( although I
suppose that is not necessarily relevant )
In any case, setup was relatively simple:
OSPF domain------redistribution_router----------RIPv2 domain
Jus to see what happened, I failed to place the distribute-lists as
recommended. I wanted to see bad thing happen. For the life of my I could
net get a routing loop to form. I did things like lower the metric of the
redistributed routes to below that of the native OSPF routes, hoping to see
the RIP redistribution come into the routing tables of the OSPF routers. No
dice.
So my question - in a situation like the above, with only a single
redistribution point, does it matter? Was the issue the particular routing
protocols? Is the issue of redistribution and loops as a result relevant
only with multiple redistribution points?
Any thoughts as to why I couldn't cause problems when I tried, even though I
seem to have no trouble creating problems when I don't try?
