RE: Redistribution and RIBs

Thanks for the reply. What I am really interested in is how the router
goes about redistributing routes between routing protocols. I am only
referring to routes between RIP-EIGRP-OSPF, etc. I want to see where
the router gets it's information for redistribution and where it puts
it's information once it has it.

Also, is there a RIB for statics and connected routes?

Thanks,

Stephen

When you use Redistribution on the border router between the two
routers, it depends how are you redistributing. I mean routing protools
from one to another or redistribute static or redistribute connected, in
all cases i am going to looking in to my routing table to see what route
match your redistribution command. When you do redistribute connected,
it will redistribute all your connected routes, but make sure the link
between the two routers is the same routing protocol, otherwise routing
updates will not go over that interface.
