RE: Redistribution Loop avoiding, best way

Don't leave out AD, split horizon, and route-maps.

My preference is to use a route map when redistributing to filter out the "problem" networks. Remember also that split horizon is disabled on natural frame intefaces. The only time
I use anything else is if route maps and/or split horizon are forbidden by the lab instructions.
