RE: Redistributing BGP Into OSPF

Just want to add to Ryan's point. By default, iBGP redistribution into
IGP is disabled.
 
We may have to use the "bgp redistribute-internal" command to enable
redistribution of iBGP routes into IGP.

As the IOS said, redistribute iBGP to IGP is dangerous because it may
cause routing loop. Thus, you need to enter "bgp redistribute-internal"
to make sure that you understand the risk and do redistribution.
