What would be best practice to take some E2 routes in OSPF and populate them into BGP. I have a switch that has several static routes that are reditribtued into OSPF. Then I have a router that is running BGP and OSPF and I want to take just those static routes and populate those into BGP. Would tagging the static routes or creating a route map work best?

Redistributing E2/E1 Routes into BGP can be done via two ways
a) Command " redistribute ospf 1 match external 2"
b) Using Route-Map Match Statement "match route-type external type-2"
Redistribute OSPF E2 Routes in BGP

Hello Tconnorbok,
route tagging can be a smart way to achieve this
on the switch you can use a route-map to set a route-tag and to control what static routes are redistributed at once
access-list 10 permit 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0.255
access-list 10 permit 10.10.11.0 0.0.0.0.255
.....
( a prefix list could be used instead of a normal ACL)
route-map STATIC-INTO-OSPF permit 10
match ip address 10
set tag 6500
set metric-type type-2
router ospf 10
redistribute static subnets route-map STATIC-INTO-OSPF
! subnets keyword to avoid automatic summarization
on the router speaking OSPF and BGP you need a route-map that takes routes with tag value 6500
route-map OSPF-INTO-BGP permit 10
match tag 6500
match route-type external type-2
router bgp 100
redistribute ospf 10 route-map OSPF-INTO-BGP
The advantage is that if in the future you add static routes on the switch no change is required on the router if the new routes are O E2 with the expected route tag
Hope to help

I am not sure about using tags for redistribution without using route-maps,
route-maps will give more flexibility and can match the routes based on different criteria (access-list, tag)
