Chris,

Thanks for looking into the issue, I did the same setup and my assumption is same. Yes, I know I can use redistribute static to make it work but I really need to understand why BGP has this behavior
Any cisco reference or document would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Noor

Subject: Re: bgp to ospf redistribution question

After labbing it up, I have come up with this:

ip route 100.100.100.0 255.255.255.0 null 0
ip route 101.101.101.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1

Both are static routes.

They are both added to the bgp table with the network statement.

However, the first route is a "connected static" route and can be considered
connected.

The 2nd route is not connected so it is just static.

When redistributing BGP into OSPF it will grab all BGP routes (show ip orute
bgp) and all "Connected BGP" routes.

I am assuming that the first route is considered a "connected bgp" route and
the 2nd is not. Therefore only the 1st route is eligible to be redistributed
from BGP to OSPF. The only way to get the other route in ospf is by
redsistributing it from static to ospf.

Any input greatly appreciated..

Chris
