Re: Redistribution Time Frame

I usually stay under 20 mins on redistribution with verification unless I
run into connectivity issues and then begin tracerouting. I think you need
to get to a point where you can pick up a layer 3 routing prot diagram and
visualize where the redistribution points are and really quickly tell what
you need to do to stop route feedback and other distance issues you see on
the redistributing router. I can build a TCL script in about 3 mins from
scratch. I just start a notepad and manually type the IPs from routers with
a "sh ip int brief." That's pretty much it and then paste the TCL scripts
into the routers. Obviously practice gets you here, I used to sweat
redistribution a lot in the beginning, but as anything it gets way easier as
you do it more and more. Eventually like I said, you'll be able to just
look at the diagram and bang out the TAG filtering or distance commands very
quickly to prevent the loops. Things I've used to practice are IEs COD, IEs
3 part BLOG on Redistribution, and just labbing it up over and over.

HTH,
