RE: Tags and Redistributing

I can't seem to figure out your topo.

Use a fixed font in notepad, then paste it to your email.

But in general, these questions come to mind.

1) Is it a tag problem or a redistribution problem? An example here is
rip. If it's not in the route table, rip won't redistribute it.

2) Because we are using tags for loop control, your ospf redistributions
should be wide open. Internal, external, nssa, subnets all should be
candidates for redistribution.

3) The strategy I posted isn't a fix all. It's just a standardized loop
control for over multiple redistribution points. Any inherent route
problems in the labs will still show up.

Do a show ip route summary on each router. If you can't explain why the
total number of subnets isn't the same per router, you have bigger
problems to worry about.

Thought you do have a lot of control with distribute lists and
route-maps. I've even tagged one route, and made exception (like a port
thru a firewall) for that route to transverse my standard route-map
statements.

Route-map into_core permit 3
Match ip address 'single weird route'

route-map into_core deny 5
> match tag 222
>!
>route-map into_core permit 10
> set tag 111

Hope that helps.

Michael

Hi Michael,

Consider the following situation:

                                              |

                     |
                                              |.........(EIGRP-AS1) R2
(OSPF).......|
R4 (RIP)...... R7(EIGRP-AS1).......|

         |
                                              |

                    |..............(OSPF) R1
                                              |........(EIGRP-AS1) R3
(OSPF) ...... |
                                              |

                    |

I configured this topology with your template, but is not working
properly
for this situation:

In this case, R2 and R3 get the route advertised from RIP as next-hop
R1,
this is because these routes have administrative distance 170 and OSPF
110.
With your strategy, is there another way without modify OSPF Admin
Distance
or with distribute-list ?

I configured route-maps on R2 and R3, with TAGs for EIGRP and OSPF.
