Redistributing OSPF into RIPv1

Hi All,

I have this scenario. R2 is connected to R4 via a frame relay PVC. RIPv1 is
run on this FR link. R2's other interfaces are in OSPF domain. I'm
redistributing OSPF into RIP. The router configs are as follows:

R2

--
!
interface Serial0/0/0.24 point-to-point
 ip address 172.29.24.2 255.255.255.0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 104
!
router rip
 redistribute ospf 1 metric 5 match internal external 1 external 2
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface Serial0/0/0.24
 network 172.29.0.0
!

R4 -- ! interface Serial0/0 ip address 172.29.24.4 255.255.255.0 encapsulation frame-relay frame-relay map ip 172.29.24.2 401 broadcast no frame-relay inverse-arp ! router rip passive-interface default no passive-interface Serial0/0 network 172.29.0.0 !

On R2, the OSPF-learned routes are:

O E1 192.168.8.8/32 O E1 192.168.9.9/32

R4 will learn 192.168.8.0/24 and 192.168.9.0/24 (with metric 5) because R2 auto-summarizes the OSPF routes into RIP (crossing different major net). However R2 also has the above two routes in its RIB with metric 6, as follows:

R 192.168.8.0/24 [120/6] via 172.29.24.4, 00:00:00, Serial0/0/0.24 R 192.168.9.0/24 [120/6] via 172.29.24.4, 00:00:00, Serial0/0/0.24

R4 has fedback the routes to R2 due to ip split-horizon disabled by default on its physical multipoint FR interface. When I later redistribute RIP into OSPF on R2, those fedback routes get redistributed into the OSPF domain. Though I don't see much harm, in the actual lab do you just leave this alone or you will fix it by configuring "ip split-horizon" on interface s0/0 of R4?

Any comments are welcome.

Thank you.

B.Rgds, Lim TS
