 Hi All, I apologize but looking back at all my questions I guess I haven't been quite clear about what I am trying to find out. I do understand that if a route is redistributed on the same router that won't be chosen and also if the route is not in the routing table as an eigrp route than it won't be advertised to its neighbor. However, I am trying to find out something different. Apologize since I don't actually have a practical lab layout at the moment hence cannot try it out and provide the relevant tables. Hopefully the scenario below can convey what I am trying to find out. R1 and R6 are at different locations and are running EBGP with other routers not mentioned. They receive a prefix say 1.1.1.0/8 and that gets redistributed into EIGRP. EIGRP Admin distance is 170 on R1 and R6. The route in the routing table is showing up as a BGP learned route. R2,R5 are internal routers running only EIGRP. The route does get propogated to them and does show up in the EIGRP table b!
 ut notice that its getting redistributed at 2 locations and is going to be learned via R1 and R6. Based on the metric 1 of those 2 routes is going to be chosen and installed in the Routing Table and will be sent to R3 and R4. What I am trying to find out is will the other(2nd) route get propogated via EIGRP to the other routers R3 and R4 which are the neighbors of R2 and R5 or will only the route that is chosen get advertised and will show ip int the EIGRP Topology table.
