Redistribution going wrong :(

Hello Group ,

I got there questions regarding Redistribution and your feed back is much
appreciated :-)

1) What is the best method to identify that whether or not your
redistribution is going wrong particularly when you are doing multipoint
redistribution between same protocols while manipulating distances for
certain prefixes (owned by specific protocols) so that they are moving on
desired direction.

2) Secondly in the following topology , as you can note EIGRP & OSPF are
touching at both R1 and R3. So the question here is , the fact that R3 is
owning/touching the Area 0 (where as R1 is only having a VR-link to Area 0)
, it is ASBR to my mind and therefore the required redistribution should be
done on R3 , rather than on R1 , even though eigrp and ospf are touching her
as well.

OSPF area 10 >>>>>Fa0/1 ---> R1 >>>>>Fa0/0 ---> Eigrp 200 to rest of the
routing domain
-------------------------------R1 >>>>> S0/0 ----->Area 20 to S0/0 ---> R2
-----> connected to s0/0 R3 on Area 0 >>>>>>> R3 is connect to s0/1 int
EIGRP 200.

Is my logic here flawed ? Or am I at right school of thought !!!

3) Thirdly , even though I do believe that no one deserve their #####, if
they can not get the core topic such as redistribution right in the exam, I
am thinking pragmatic here purely from exam point of view. Let us say that
I have lost all 10 marks of redistribution , while I am making all L2 (let
us say 25) , L3 ( i.e. individual section of RIP , EIGRP , ISIS , OSPF ..etc
with let us say 30 marks ) , BGP (15 marks) and rest of the technologies
worth of 20 marks.

In other words , let us say I scored 90 marks in the exam and lost crucial
10 marks form a core topic of redistribution , with out which my network
will not stand with few likely end to end IP reachability problems. With
this scenario , Can I expect to pass the exam ? I can guess the likely
answer already , but I guess am pushing my luck here :-)

Cheers.

- David.
