Removing EIGRP Redistribution with Route-map - Have to enter command TWICE

[kfarrington]

Guys,

Has anyone ever seen that when you have the following commands :-

!

router bgp X

!

address-family ipv4

redistribute eigrp Y route-map eigrp-to-bgp

or

router eigrp Y

redistribute bgp X metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 route-map bgp-to-eigrp

==============================================

when you issue say for example (for removal)

router eigrp Y

NO redistribute bgp X metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 route-map bgp-to-eigrp

you are still left with redistribution in the config - ie

router eigrp Y

redistribute bgp X

Is this a feature or a bug?

Many thx indeed,

Ken

Hi Ken,

Long time no speak.

This is actually normal behavior as "no redistribute bgp X metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 route-map bgp-to-eigrp" removes the metric and route-map keyword from the command.

If you want to remove the redistribution command completely, you need to use "no redistribute bgp X".

Hi

I think it's a "feature", it's the same with other commands, like

standby preemp delay xx

if you do

no standby preemp delay xx

you will be left with

standby preemp

if you want to get it removed the first time just omit the unnecessary part.

I think it's a little bit anoying, but there can be situations where you want to keep the redistribute entry, and just want to edit the metric.

Many thx for the input :)

Would be good for someone from Cisco to let us know if this is documented anywhere, or if it is a feature for routing.

Just need to advise my team of this feature (or maybe a bug)

Many thx and kind regards,

Ken

Hi Mikael,

This would also be normal behavior. Otherwise, how would you remove the optional keyword from the command.

Hi Ken,

This is one of the "Gotchas" on the list I am compiling in my blog. Item #2 in the "Route redistribution" section:
