Re-distribution Newbie Question

Hello,

We have contracted with an ISP for an MPLS network to replace our legacy point-to-point EIGRP WAN.

One of the ramifications of this implementation is that we want to continue to use NetFlow to monitor the traffic coming from remote sites into our central site. Our ISP has enabled NetFlow on their routers at those sites however our NetFlow collector is on an internal subnet at our central site and cannot access (ping) these external ISP routers on the MPLS network. There are 12 routers on the provider MPLS network that we want to be able to access from the NetFlow Collector. That provider network uses BGP.

For example:

(14.115.33.97/252)Router1(BGP)-------Router2(BGP/EIGRP)---------L3Switch(EIGRP)-----------NetFlowCollector (10.45.11.25/24)

Router1 = provider

Router2 = our organization

L3Switch = our organization

NetFlowCollector = our organization

   

We can of course ping from Router2 into the BGP network (and vice versa) but cannot ping from the NetFlow Collector server to the Router1.

Do we need to re-distribute each BGP route for each ISP MPLS router into EIGRP or is there a simpler way?

You can have Router2 inject a default route in EIGRP.

You also need to have a route for 10.45.11.0/24 on Router1 pointing to Router2 as the gateway in BGP.
