Don,

You are very close to my problem.

I wand to reduce the distance of a network 172.50.50.0 /24 . This network is
directly connected to a EIGRP router. As there is no routing protocol to be
enabled for this network (limitation in a practice lab), I did redistribute
connected. When it is redistributed to EIGRP, the distance is 170 for this
network. The problem here is, all other network has the distance of 90
(EIGRP internal routes) but this network is with 170.

Another router learns this network from a OSPF router as its distance is
only 110. So now this router chooses the ospf route as best route. To
overcome this problem, I want to reduce the distance of this network, in
otherwords, all the routers should learn this network thru EIGRP. OSPF
should be second option. There are few work around to solve this problem,
however, I was trying this method to fix.

Regards,
Ravi
