Wang,
Redistributing with a route-map and tagging (route coloring), then denying
those routes back into the IGP where they came from might be a better
approach.
Further, you can then use Distance, to decide which of the various IGPs on a
particular router will be brought into the routing table and which will be
acting as a backup route.
For EIGRP visa-vi OSPF, I normally use something like:
route-map EIGRP_TO_OSPF deny 10
match tag 110
!
route-map EIGRP_TO_OSPF permit 1000
set tag 90
!
route-map OSPF_TO_EIGRP deny 10
match tag 90
!
route-map OSPF_TO_EIGRP permit 1000
set tag 110
!
As for some of these CCIE workbooks, there are tones of errors and a few
occassions flat out misrepresentation. You have to work yourself through
them. I also found numerous occassion, where the Workbook, will restrict you
from using a particular method or command and sincerely there is no other
method to meet that requirement. Sometimes, I struggle for hours to see if
there is another command.
Usually at the last minute, I will give and look at the solution and I will
be SHOCKED and ANNOYED to find out that solution guide used that very method
they told you not to use.
A few examples are:
*A scenario stated stated that let R4&R5 authenticate each other, one use
PAP and the other use CHAP, but do not use the 'USERNAME' command on R4.
>surprising, the solution guide bent so low to use the username command on
R4.
*Another scenario states something like, to prevent R2 in a multi-access
ethernet broadcast medium from telneting to the R3, but all FILTERING MUST
BE DONE ONLY ON R6 which is also sharing that same common multi-access
ethernet broadcast subnet. All three Routers share the same IP subnet and
are on the same cable segment, the same VLAN.
>The solution guide solution, went and configure 'switchport protected' on
SW1; enabled access list & proxy arp on R6. -why configure SW1 at all?
Switchport protected filter traffics, it prevents traffics from a port
having that feature configured from accepting traffic from another protected
port.
*I have seen solution guides using static routes to maneuver their way out
of a restriction, they created themselves. But their general instruction
said "DO NOT USE STATIC ROUTES, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO DO SO IN A
SECTION' and no where in the task was static route permitted.
I can go on and on. Not to mention solutions that are flat right wrong and
others that will hang your router when you implement them.
It is totally demoralizing to a student who really want to learn and in
keeping with best known practices only want to consult the solution guide at
the 11th hours to spend mental manpower, resources, hours, etc to work
around restrictions, only to open the solution guide and those same rules of
the game are being violated.
Some of these workbook just want to win in the "Our Labs are Tough" contest,
and sincerely that is all they are able to achieve, Some of the scenarios
and their solutions do not help one and they are completely out of touch and
out out sink.
Use them just as a guide, again that is why just reading through the
solution guide without actually labbing up the scenario is a recipe for
disaster.
