RE: route redistribution [7:74856]
Hmmm... Maybe it the fact that I forgot that the route needs to exist in the route table to be redistributed. If all intents and purposes, I will associate the application of new metrics burden on the receiving protocol. I feel safe in that assumption. Thanks for the clarification...

RE: route redistribution [7:74856]
That description on page 698 sounds like as if there was a thing called router between EIGRP and OSPF. In reality, the redistribution is handled by the (code that belongs to the) receiving protocol. Thanks, Zsombor John Jones wrote: I am studying for CCIE Written and lately have been concentrating on redistribution. I have come across two statements in Doyle's V.1 that I am a bit confused about. On page 698 under the Metric section, he states that a cost must be assigned to each EIGRP route **BEFORE** passing it into OSPF and vice versa. What confuses me is that on page 712 under Configuring Redistribution it states under #1 that the redistribution configuration command and information is placed on the protocol that is to **RECEIVE** the distibuted routes, which I assume will be applied **AFTER** the route has been received. This seems to contradict to me. Could anyone shed some light on this? It would help my understanding... Thanks.

RE: route redistribution [7:74856]
The application of the metric is done at the time of redistribution not after. Remember that the router already knows of the route and has it in its routing table it is just in a different language(protocol) than the recieving protocol understands so a translation is done. This in concept is redistribution. Remember that the route must be in the routers routing table before it is redistributed. Also if you look at where the command is applied (under the recieving protocol) you will notice that although it is call redistribution the routes are actually imported by the recieving protocol form the routing table then has the metric changed. I think it should have been called route importing. But that is just my opinion. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=74897t=74856 -- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html
