Thanks Brian,

That's what I was looking for. Just wanted to see the process and think
it through.

Thanks,

Stephen

Stephen,

        The redistribution process looks specifically at the routing
table. I.e. if you are redistributing RIP into another protocol the
router internally says "show ip route rip", and then "show ip route
connected" and takes any up/up connected interfaces that are included by
"network" statements under the RIP process. You can however "break"
this second step of redistribution by manually filtering a "redistribute
connected" into the protocol that you are redistributing RIP into.

        As of current releases IS-IS acts a little different since it is
not an IP protocol. It will only redistribute the routes that match the
"show ip route isis" and not the connected interfaces that have the "ip
router isis" statement on them. In other words if you are
redistributing IS-IS into OSPF you will also have to manually say
"redistribute connected subnets" under the OSPF process to get the
interfaces that are running IS-IS.

HTH,
