I don't have the configs in front of me to look at, but I would assume that the "OSPF2EIGRP" route-map (the only one called on both routers) would have the "match tag" in a deny statement there to prevent circular redistribution.
 
Tags are certainly a good thing to mark routes, but you're correct, if you never match them it doens't help much!
 
Look at the configs for that lab and see whether or not the route-map contained that filtering technique.  I'll try to dig up all the configs to check myself as well, but off the top of my head that's where they SHOULD be based on what I see there!

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Idea behind Redistribution

Dear Scott
I was asking about the idea behind the configurations of r5 and r6 in section 28 regarding optimizing routing between the OSPF and
EIGRP domain?
 
On R5
 
router eigrp 1
 redistribute connected route-map connect2eigrp
 redistribute ospf 1 route-map ospf2eigrp
 network 150.50.50.0 0.0.0.255
 distance 109 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
 no auto-summary
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 redistribute connected subnets route-map connect2ospf
 redistribute eigrp 1 subnets tag 555
 network 150.50.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 150.50.100.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 150.50.101.4 0.0.0.3 area 0
!
 
On R6
 
router eigrp 1
 redistribute connected route-map connect2eigrp
 redistribute ospf 1 route-map ospf2eigrp
 network 150.50.60.0 0.0.0.255
 no auto-summary
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 redistribute connected subnets route-map connect2ospf
 redistribute eigrp 1 subnets tag 666
 network 150.50.70.0 0.0.0.3 area 9
 network 150.50.71.0 0.0.0.3 area 9
 network 150.50.100.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
!
 
I am seeing that you set tags but you didn't match on it anywhere.
 
I did it blindly and it worked perfectly but i don't yet got the idea behind doing such configuration.
It will be great if you just give an illustration about this subject.
 
Thanks/Regards
