RE: Mutual redistribution.

I guess I have an older version of Doyle's Vol I which does not have that
strategy. Normally here's what I do with a single redist point between
protocols (RIP network is 135.3.1.0/24, everything else is OSPF)

ip acce s ripnets
 permit 135.3.1.0 0.0.0.255
route-map rip
 match ip addr ripnets
route-map ospf deny 10
 match ip addr ripnets
route-map ospf permit 20

router ospf 1
 redist rip route-map rip subnets metric 120
router rip
 redist ospf 1 route-map ospf 1 metric 3

I started to think it through and this is what I would add, but I'm not
sure. Can you confirm? I don't want to change every OSPF distance to 240
since I'm not sure how to put them back depending on route type (external,
intra, etc.) Instead I'm raising any RIP network being sent to me from an
OSPF neighbor to a dist of 240.

router ospf 1
 distance 240 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ripnets
router rip
 distance 240
 distance 120 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ripnets

Thanks, AP

Doyle covers this in TCP/IP Vol I very well in the
redistribution section. I have adopted his method and
it works every time. He uses the distance command and
sets both protocols above their normal distance...
i.e. if you were doing EIGRP and OSPF set both
protocols at 130. Then use route maps to drop the
selected routes back to their normal distance within
each protocol. This prevents route feedback and
establishes redundancy if you have more than one point
of redistribution.
