The best explanation of redistribution that I have seen is in Alex
Zinin's excellent book, "Cisco IP Routing". He says, in a nutshell,
that if you redistribute Protocol 1 into Protocol 2 it simply tells
Protocol 2 that when it's composing its routing update, it should also
include the routes in the local routing table that belong to Protocol 1.
Since this doesn't change the local routing table in any way, you can
see that it would have no effect on another redistribution from Protocol
2 into Protocol 3. There are some other details and rules with regard
to how all this is done, but that's the gist of it. Hope this helps!

OK Carlos.

Suppose we have on the SAME router the following redistribution:
Protocol_1 <---> Protocol_2 <----> Protocol_3
Will route from Protocol_1 be redistributed to Protocol_3 ???
I think will.. I have to check..

I have "connected" (like another protocol - isn't it ?) --> Protocol_1
(Igrp)--> Protocol_2 (OSPF)
Protocol_2 (OSPF) doesn't know about "connected" via redistribution.

Do You know any link (@cco maybe) which can confirm this rule ?

Thanks,

Dmitry

Dmitry,
usually knowledge acquired by redistribution from another protocol
is not redistributed, to prevent information loops.

Connected and Static are for the redistribution mechanism much the
same as another protocol.
