Thanks for every ones reply
Would follwoing mutual re-distribution be Cisco way and would filter route feedback
router rip
redistribut ospf 10 match internal external-1 external-2 metric 5 route-map ospftorip
Router ospf 10
redistiribute rip subnets met 120 route-map riptoospf
route-map riptoospf den 10
match tag 10
route-map riptoospf per 20
set tag 20
route-map ospftorip de 10
match tag 20
route-map ospftorip per 20
set tag 10
Counld any one please help me with this.
Thanks in advance

Raj,
As per the default behaviour of both routing protocols, yes there is the
risk of running into routing loops. All RIP routes have an AD of 120 and
OSPF 90, though in OSPF, redistributed routes will be flaged O E2 or O N2 by
default, but they will have the same AD of 90 with internal routes. For RIP,
everybody will go by the same name 'R' with an AD of 120.
There are gzallion ways to solve this problem, it will depend on your
situation and what you are asked to do or not to do: The few I can remember
include:
1. Use tags to filter routes.
2. Assign a higher AD to all external OSPF routes (distance osfp .......).
3. Redistribute into OSPF using O E1/O N1 instead of the defaults (this will
ensure that external path cost are accounted for).
4. Assign a higher AD to all routes that originates from the RIP domain
(distance 121 .....)
5. Manipulate the default metric of redistributed routes to make them less
desirable.
6. Use offset-list in RIP to increase the hops of redistributed routes.
7. Use of distribute-list
8. etc! etc!! etc!!!
If not restricted by your scenerio, you best shot is to use option 1 above
to eliminate the loops at the source. The other methods do not eliminate the
source of the loop, but only help you to manipulate and manage the situation
so that, despite the fact that they may appear to be some routes that would
have lead to loops in the routing database, you have been able to ensure
that they never appear in the routing table. Option 1 will make sure that,
those routes never made it to the routing database in the first place.
