When redistribution into OSPF is taking place on one of the routers on one
end of the link and the ip subnet of the link is included under the ospf
process, using this command stop the isdn link from flapping.
I don't remember all the details but the way I understand it is that without
this command, when the isdn link comes up (from interesting traffic for
example), ospf will install a new /32 route in the route table. When the
link goes down, ospf removes the route, But when the /32 route is removed
that means there's been a topology change. OSPF, being a routing protocol,
must, of course, notify all it's neighbors of the topology change and send
out a new LSA to do this. And, this new LSA has to, of course, reach the
other side of the isdn link so ospf brings up the link. Once the link is up
that /32 route is again installed in the route table only to go away again
after the link goes back down. And, so the cycle repeats.
To stop this cycle, the no peer neighbor command prevents the /32 route from
being installed in the route table in the first place.
I forget the roll that redistribution plays in this scenario, but I know
that this is explained very well in the book, Troubleshooting IP Routing
Protocols in the section on flapping isdn links (or using the ip ospf demand
circuit command).
