Hi Kasturi,

I reload the lab with extensive debug this night and find that I'm wrong.
The router do redistribute when I enter passive-interface on link between
Earhart and Curtiss. I also notice that, however, the action from
passive-interface do affect route selection into redistribution. Once I
enter in passive mode, the routes from 172.20.15.0 can no longer be
advertized into IGRP domain. That why my pingscript failed in the last
labtime. The question remained is WHY this happen??

My understanding is passive interface command just prevents EIGRP from
forming neighborhood relationship. But it does more! It seems the passive
command removes the interface completely in EIGRP algorithm/procedure.
That explains why the redistribution with 172.20.15.0/30 and
172.20.15.4/30 will appear 172.20.0.0 from IGRP domain. Anyone could
explain further?

BTW, for your reference I'm using IOS 12.2(10a) in both Earhart and
Curtiss. Has anyone do the lab with different result would share point of
view?

Regards,
Fanglo
