Re: Redistribution best practices

thanks salah,

tags n route-maps are helpful if you have two redistribution points between
the same IGP protocols.

but i am talking about the scenario in which you have only 1 redistribution
point. using distance command on that point will cause me to loose points
even though if its not required?
