Hey Tony,
The router will only advertise the interfaces/IP's that the routing
protocol is running on, unless told to do otherwise.
You would use redistribute connected if you didn't want to run/advertise
the routing protocol out of an interface, but still wanted to tell
others where the network lives. For example, you could redistribute
connected for a loopback address rather than sending routing updates out
of the loopback interface which will not do any good, but would take up
CPU cycles.
An alternative to this is to run the protocol on the interface and use
passive-interface xyz
Hope that helps,
LH
