Cisco provides a feature called automatic
redistribution (or something like that). If you make
the process ID/AS number for EIGRP the same as IGRP on
the router it will automatically redistribute in both
directions.

This is a bad idea for all but the simplest networks.
In the best redistributions a designer wants to
prevent a route from coming back and looping (AD and
metric should normally prevent this, but it helps to
know your network). Also, summarization and manual
control of the routes is prefered for EIGRP under most
circumstances. Lastly, why lose control over somehting
that is so simple - automatation indicates that the
administrator does not understand the requirements,
which would usually complicate troubleshooting.
