Subject: IPExpert Labs
I have a question. I have IPExpert v5 workbook. Now, I've noticed in
most of
the labs that when enabling a protocol, like EIGRP for example, it will
only
include the network statements for the interfaces connecting the router
to the
AS. All other connections are redistributed (redistribute connected).
Now my
question is, if not explicitly mentionned...why do this? Isn't it the
same
as including the network statement and making the interface as passive
thus
keeping the network as internal?
It's more work and sometimes is a pain for protocols like EIGRP whose
admin
distance for external routes is higher than most other protocols and
when
redistributing causes problems more configuration problems.
Are they preparing me for the R&S lab where this is quite often
experienced
(answer only to a point of not violating your NDA)
Thanks!
James
============
No, it's not the same as a network statement. On the contrary, a
"redistribute connected" statement will be seen by that routing protocol
as a foreign protocol. In EIGRP they will be marked as 'D EX' by that
router's neighbor.
