It appears from the following text in a Cisco manual
"Routes configured with the connected keyword affected by this redistribute command are the routes not specified by the network router configuration command."
That the REDISTRIBUTE CONNECTED statement is an alternative to specifiying the directly connected interfaces on a NETWORK statement of a routing protocol. And further that networks directly connected to a router with REDISTRIBUTE CONNECTED statement present do not need to be included in the NETWORK statements.
Is this a correct understanding?? Any other implications or gotchas of configuring it one way versus the other?
