This is a great tool, Brian! Thanks for sharing it. I just got it running, I
didn't see a command to clear the profile....it appears that this is only
starts when you enable and clears when it is disabled. Also, if you use this
you'll probably want to turn off the debug ip routing, since you get the
following message every 5 seconds....

*Mar 3 23:07:05.398: Periodic IP routing statistics collection
*Mar 3 23:07:10.398: Periodic IP routing statistics collection
*Mar 3 23:07:15.398: Periodic IP routing statistics collection

Your routing tables should be stable when you are finished with the core
portion of the lab and should remain stable from that point forward.
You can use debugging to verify this or look into enabling the IP route
profile feature.

Here is a little information about the IP route profile feature if you
aren't familiar with it:

<Quote>
   Introduction

   The Route Table Profiling feature was developed to assist network
   engineers in monitoring routing table fluctuations, which may be
   the result of route flapping, network failure, or network service
   restoration. This feature was added in CSCdi76662 to the 11.1CC
   train of Cisco IOS.

   Configuration

   The Route Table Profiling feature is enabled globally. The
   command is "ip route profile" in global configuration mode. This
   feature can be disabled with the command "no ip route profile" in
   global configuration mode.

   Routing table change statistics can be viewed with the "show ip
   route profile" command in exec mode.

Do we need to ensure there are no routing loops if lab is not
specifically
asking for it?

Unless the lab specifically asks for redundancy or states to not have
suboptimal routing, then just do not about those issues. Many people
spend
unnecessary time on solving redundancy and/or suboptimal routing issues
when
the proctors are not going to even check for them.

The only time you normally would even consider redundancy without the
lab
specifically asking for it, is when you have an interface backing up
another
interface (i.e. ISDN).

Hi Brian

Actually I have the question related to this

In the Internetork book and many other documents for this scenario and
similar ones (where the other routing protocol is RIP or EIGRP with
existing
external routes) preferred solution seems to be filtering using tags.

However this doe not provide the redundancy .

My question is if redundancy was not mentioned anywhere in lab
requirements
is it safe do filtering (match easier) and not to provide any redundancy
?

thanks
Nenad

If you know what problem could occur with this topology, if there even
is
one to begin with, you will quickly be able to determine the appropriate
solution. I'll give you two hints on how you can answer your own
question:

1) EIGRP has a higher administrative distance for external routes by
default
for a reason. What is that reason?

2) If there are not any external EIGRP routes in EIGRP before
redistribution
is done between EIGRP and OSPF, you will not need to do anything (tags,
AD,
distribute-list, etc). If you do have external EIGRP routes before
doing
redistribution or switched EIGRP with RIP, you

would then have an issue to resolve.

Remember that it's just as important to understand why you are doing a
certain configuration as much as it is to know how to do the
configuration
;-)

When mutually redistributing between eigrp and ospf at two separate
points
in the network, what the cleanest & simplest way for preventing imminent
route feedback?,

Having read the archives there's mixed opinions between the use of AD
and
Tags

Many thanks
