Redistributing OSPF into EIGRP

[e-see]

I have an internet router->pix->layer 3 switch scenerio. The internet router, pix, and layer 3 switch are running OSPF so I can learn the WAN route. I also have EIGRP on the l3 switch for other corporate switches and sites. I tried to redistribute OSPF into EIGRP so I can set a gateway for the WAN route and have a backup one. I'm not seeing the OSPF routes in any of the other L3 switches or routers running the same EIGRP. Any suggestions?

Have you configured a "default-metric" statement in your EIGRP configuration. Redistribution won't work without it.

Please refer to the following URL for more information on that configuration command:

Hope this helps,

Thanks. In this case with OSPF from a bonded T1, what would be wise default metrics to use for EIGRP. EIGRP is mostly runnung on a L3 switched infastructure. Thanks

It doesn't make a difference if you only have one redistribution point.

I have always used the same combinaison:

default-metric 10000 10 255 1 1500

Hope this helps,
