redistribution

[carl_townshend]

If I have a building running eigrp and another running ospf, do I just redistribute on into the other, or do I have to redistribute both into eqch other ?

thanks

Hi Carl,

It depends all on your network requiement. But most of the networks go for both side or both direction redistribution which means redistributing ospf into eigrp and eigrp into ospf so that both the routing domain can know about each other routes.

If you want you can also go for one way redistribution also all depends upon your network requirement.

HTH, if yes please rate the post.

wont one way distribution do the job ? what is the normal practice ?

[ankurbhasin]

Hi Carl,

For suppose you do one way redistribution as an example redistributing eigrp into ospf only now ospf routing doamin will get to know about eigrp routes as we have injected eigrp routes into ospf via redistribution but we have not done the other way round.

Normal practice is to have both way redistribution.

HTH, if yes please rate the post.

do I not need to put a metric into this ? or does ospf use the same metrics ?

[rwyates_2]

You will need metrics to make this happen.

This should help.

I cannot connect to this link, can you give me an example of the metrics ?
