Redistributing OSPF in EIGRP

[Dmitri Popkov]

Good day!

I have noticed that i cant make R4 and also R2 to choose prefered path to R1 over R3...

Where is my mistake?

Can you help me please?

Here is my topology

and configuration of to ABR's

R3:

router eigrp 100

R3 has filtered enabled to prevent routing loops from eigrp networks. But i cant make R4 and R2 to choose preferd path to R1 Loopback over R3

[Peter Paluch · Accepted solution]

Hi Dima,

The loopback address at R1 is known both to R2 and R3 as OSPF internal network. If R3 redistributes this network into EIGRP and advertises it to R2, EIGRP will try to insert this route into R2's routing table using the administrative distance of 170 (as it is an EIGRP external route). However, the OSPF-learned route on R2 has an administrative distance of 110 and is therefore preferred. No change in the OSPF or EIGRP metrics is going to change this because the administrative distance is the first value that is used to break ties when different protocols try to insert the same network into the routing table.

What you could do is to modify the EIGRP configuration on R2 that it assigns an administrative distance of less than 110 to EIGRP external routes, e.g.:

R2:

router eigrp 100

distance eigrp 90 109

Would this be an option for you?

Best regards,

Peter

[Dmitri Popkov]

Yeah. You are right.

Thank you Peter. I have changed EX metric of EIGRP and i 've recieved D EX route.

Thanks a lot;)

Add below command under R2,

access-list 50 permit 10.1.0.0 0.0.0.255

May it will help u

Thnx.
