Hi, is it possible to redistribute ospf routes from one vrf to the global ospf process ?... i have the command "redistribute ospf vrf " under the global ospf process but it is not working for me. I am using vrf lite configuration.

Thanks,

asanes

Can you elaborate a little on why you want to actually do this. I tried this in my lab and it doesnt work (to be honest thank god it doesnt).

Hi, there is a 7200 router that is currently doing nat for adsl pppoa customers. Now, we are going to have mpls-vpn clientes with internet access and this router must do nat for this customers as well. Due we are going to use the same private addressing for adsl and vpn customers in the design i configure per vrf nat in the 7200, but, then i needed the connection between the adsl agregator and the 7200 to be in a vrf for this config to work. the problem is that currently in the network pppoa customer addresses are not being translated for all destinations and the isp local destinations are reached through private addresses. i have to keep that condition in the design but then i need just for this vrf (where adsl internet customers are) the source private address to be in the global routing table... i dont want to configure static routes in the 7200 pointing to that vrf for the source private networks so i was trying to configure an ospf process between the adsl agregator and the 7200 inside the vrf and then redistribute those routes into the main ospf process so i dont need static routes configuration. I know it is not a common practice and even valid but it is the option to static routing i figure. thanks ahead, asanes

Sorry mate - I have tried everthing (at least what I know). I have tried rip into ospf, eigrp into ospf but no workie. Im afraid you are going to be stuck with static routes (even if that works). I think you have been pushed into a design which is slightly flawed at the start. I would recommend a rethink of what you are trying to do and then redesign it into a solution which not only scales better but also is supportable.

Thanks, i will follow your advise and rethink for a better solution. regards, asanes
