RE: IGP Redistribution scenario

Here's what worked for me:

1. Never redistribute without a routemap* (be a control freak)
2. Always write the most restrictive acl possible for the routemap (be a bigtime control freak)
3. Always run "debug ip routing". It should be so quiet that you don't even know that you're debugging anything at all (be a vigilant, bigtime control freak)
4. Master admin distance, but only mess with it if someone holds a gun to your head

*Yes, even (and especially) for static and connected routes!

That is a brilliant idea, since it serves as a useful reminder of the
potential for admin distance issues. I don't know if there is ever an end
to the learning when it comes to the very difficult subject of route
redistribution.

I love this list! You know there are people who are snobby about this list,
and join it and quickly leave it. They think they are too smart to benefit
from it, or think that it is bad that you can different answers to a
question here, and that, heaven forbid, one of the answers might be wrong.
Or they think that the list is somehow tainted by the presence of people who
don't seem to know enough at the start to be preparing for the CCIE Lab.

They may be right in some sense about some of the relative newcomers, but if
they leave because of these newcomers, it is their loss.

I could have gone a long time without ever thinking of your neat idea.
