John,

Great post. However, you mentioned:

<SNIP>
Basically, with RIP, and ISIS when you redistribute the protocols into
another protocol you will have to do a redistribute connected even
through you maybe advertising the networks in the routing protocol.
</SNIP>

I agree that this is the case with ISIS because the connected interfaces
are not in the ISIS database, rather the CLNS database (they don't enter
the ISIS database until advertised to the ISIS process of a neighbor).

However, with RIP, this is not the case. If you have a loopback 1.1.1.1
on R1, you enter this router into RIP with "network 1.0.0.0" and then
redistribute into OSPF which is running between R1 and R2, this _will_
in fact show up in R2 as an E2 OSPF route.

Did you mean something else?

Hi James,
There are a few more tools that you can use to tell what routes are
being advertised by what protocol. When you do a sh ip route, you see
that there are external routes which are coming in, even though you
don't have redistribute connected under the routing protocol process.
Basically, if you put a network under the routing process in ospf or
eigrp, that network is going to be advertised to the neighbors, even
though it is a "connected route". If you look at the ospf databse by
using a sh ip ospf database command you should see that these routes are
indeed in the database and being advertised via lsa. With eigrp you can
use the command sh ip eigrp topology, to look at the eigrp database.
When you redistribute, from one protocol to another; lets say for
example from ospf to eigrp; if you do a sh ip route, all the routes
marked O from output, and any connected route which you included in the
routing process, which are ospf routes on the router your doing the
redistribution should be redistributed into eigrp, and you should be
able to go to remote router and see the routes as external if you do a
sh ip route on the remote router. The part that may confuse you with
connected is when you are using a routing protocol like rip and isis for
redistribution. These protocols don't behave like the others do. And
this is where I see much confusion from many posts here on groupstudy
time and time again, this issue has been documented in previous posts.
Basically, with RIP, and ISIS when you redistribute the protocols into
another protocol you will have to do a redistribute connected even
through you maybe advertising the networks in the routing protocol. I
hope this helps clear up some confusion, you can also can lab this out
to see the results for yourself.

Subject: Redistribution question

Hi group,

Got a question about redist'ing between protocols.
It is my understanding that when redistributing between two protocols
directly,
it does not perform the exchange through the specific protocol
databases, but
rather performed by going through the RIB, which you can see by issuing
'sh ip route' command.

So.. let's take an example
R1--R2--<OSPF>-----------R5--------------<EIGRP>--R7--R8
                     s0/1 fa0/0
          192.168.10.1/24 192.168.100.1/24
          <-- OSPF Sector EIGRP Sector -->

R5 is redistributing between OSPF network (192.168.10.0/24) and EIGRP
network
(192.168.100.1/24).

However, when doing 'sh ip route', the 192.168.10.0/24 and
192.168.100.0/24 are
really NOT ospf, NOR eigrp networks, even though R8 sees
192.168.100.0/24 as
EIGRP route, and R1 sees 192.168.10.0/24 as ospf route. However, to R5,
these
networks are neither ospf, nor eigrp, but they are Connected routes.

So redist connected is probably the needed solution on R5 to ensure that

connected networks are carried out as well.. However, I did this on R5
and
192.168.100.0/24 is appearing as OSPF E2 external route on R1/R2, as
well as
192.168.10.0/24 appearing as EIGRP EX route on R7/R8 even though I do
not
have 'redistribute connected' on R5. R5 just has redistribute ospf under
eigrp
process, and redistribute eigrp under ospf process.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for clues!
-J
