Question

OSPF_EIGRP_Redistribution.jpg

Answer and Explanation:

First we need to find out 5 parameters (Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load, MTU) of the s0/0/0 interface (the interface of R2 connected to R4) for redistribution :

R2#show interface s0/0/0

Write down these 5 parameters, notice that we have to divide the Delay by 10 because the metric unit is in tens of microsecond. For example, we get Bandwidth=1544 Kbit, Delay=20000 us, Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500 bytes then we would redistribute as follows:

R2#config terminal
R2(config)# router ospf 1
R2(config-router)#
redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets
R2(config-router)#exit
R2(config-router)#router eigrp 100
R2(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 1544 2000 255 1 1500

Note: If the delay is 20000us then we need to divide it by 10, that is 20000 / 10 = 2000

Note: “usec” here means microsecond (which is 1/1000 milliseconds). According to this link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094cb7.shtml#eigrpmetrics: “The delay as shown in the show ip eigrp topology or show interface commands is in microseconds”)

For R3 we use the show interface fa0/0 to get 5 parameters too

R3#show interface fa0/0

For example we get Bandwidth=100000 Kbit, Delay=1000 us, Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500 bytes

R3#config terminal
R3(config)#
router ospf 1
R3(config-router)#
redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets
R3(config)#
exit
R3(config-router)#
router eigrp 100
R3(config-router)#
redistribute ospf 1 metric 100000 100 255 1 1500

Finally you should try to “show ip route” to see the 172.16.100.1 network (the network behind R4) in the routing table of R1 and make a ping from R1 to this network.

Note: If the link between R2 and R3 is FastEthernet link, we must put the command below under EIGRP process to make traffic from R1 to go through R3 (R1 -> R2 -> R3 -> R4), which is better than R1 -> R2 -> R4.

R2(config-router)# distance eigrp 90 105

This command sets the Administrative Distance of all EIGRP internal routes to 90 and all EIGRP external routes to 105, which is smaller than the Administrative Distance of OSPF (110) -> the link between R2 & R3 will be preferred to the serial link between R2 & R4.

A reader on our site has a closer explanation for the “distance eigrp 90 105” command so we quote it here for your reference:

The “distance” refers to the administrative distance of the routes provided by a given routing process. By default, internal (which means non-redistributed) EIGRP routes are given an administrative distance of 90 while external (redistributed from another routing process) EIGRP routes are given an administrative distance of 170. The default administrative distance of OSPF is 110. The administrative distance measures the “distance from the truth” and tells the router which routes are more trustworthy. Lower administrative distance = more trustworthy. For this reason, connected routes have an administrative distance of 0. They are the MOST TRUSTWORTHY, because they are physically connected to the router. When making a decision about which route to install in the routing table, the router looks at administrative distance first. The metric (or cost) is only considered if two routes have the same administrative distance.

In this case, R2 will learn about R4’s loopback network from both R4 and R3. The route from R4 will be in OSPF (admin distance of 110) because R2 is also running OSPF while the route from R3 will be an external EIGRP route (administrative distance of 170 by default). Since the OSPF route has a lower administrative distance, it will get placed in R2’s routing table and the R3-provided route will be ignored. This is not optimal, since the path through R3 is a faster, more reliable path. To fix this, we change the administrative distance of external EIGRP routes at R2 by using the “distance eigrp 90 105” command. This sets the administrative distance of internal EIGRP routes to the default of 90 and changes the administrative distance of external EIGRP routes to 105 (less than that of OSPF routes). Now, when R2 learns of the loopback network from R4 and R3, it will install the now lower administrative distance external EIGRP route from R3 and our traffic from R1 will take the faster path.

Note: Please check the OSPF process numbers first before typing these commands.

    Hi guys
    Can someone advise if the SPOTO Q227 & 300-101 V23.75 still valid enough ?

    I have the exams soon. or share the dumps anyone? I have the GNS3 Labs with IOS to
    run will share soon.

    Anyone who recently wrote please advise.

    Hi Steve,
    #R2
    conf t
    router eigrp 100
    distance eigrp 90 105
    end

    I validated with trace and show ip route

    also, for some reason, “copy run start” didn’t work for me and I didn’t save any configs.

    I did have 3 sims OSPF Evaluation, EIGRP OSPF redistr, EIGRP Stub.

    Hi guys! one of the requirement said:
    you must be able to ping and telnet. My question is do we have to configure LINE VTY TO ALLOW TELNET? OR JUST PING WILL BE ENOUGH
    The reason why i would like to know is because it will require a password as we all know. |I have my exam next week

    since r3 is redistributing ospf networks into eigrp with a higher bandwidth should it be preferred without the distance command?

    Got a 839/790. 55 questions. 4th time is the charm

    If you get the redistribution lab, here is the easier commands then what this site tells you.

    R2:

    Router eigrp 100 (Verify Number by “Sh Run”)
    distance eigrp 90 105
    redistribute ospf 1 (verify number by “Sh Run”) metric 500 1 1 1 1

    Router ospf 1 (Verify Number by “Sh Run”)
    redistribute eigrp 100 metric 500 metric-type 1 subnets

    R3:

    Router eigrp 100 (Verify number by “Sh Run”)
    redistribute ospf 1 (Verify number by ‘sh run”) metric 1000 1 1 1 1

    Router ospf 1 (Verify Number by “sh run”)
    redistribute eigrp 100 metric 100 metric-type 1 subnets

    Those commands worked for me. Much easier to remember for sure.

    Router ospf 1 (Verify Number by “sh run”)
    redistribute eigrp 100 metric 1000 metric-type 1 subnets

    right? you put metric 100 and i think is 1000

    why not only “redistribute eigrp 100 subnets” ?

    default metric of E1 is 20. R2 and R3 both redistributed 192.168.1.0 with cost 20. R4 will choose R3 to reach 192.168.1.0. The metric should be specified in R3 when redistributing into ospf
    R3: redistribute eigrp 100 metric 84 metric-type 1 subnets

    What is the reason to use “metric-type 1”?

  35. Anonymous
    July 8th, 2019

    It will load balance from R4 to R1 if using E2

  36. Will
    July 8th, 2019

    It will not load balance if you use E2. That’s common mistake, because you can think that R4 will see 2 routes with metric 20 and will load balance, but that’s not the case.
    R4 will send traffic to R3 even if you use E2 routes (20), because it has lower cost to this ASBR.
    R4 – R3 – cost is 1 (FastE)
    R4 – R2 – cost is 64 (Serial)

    Is fa/0 of r3 facing r4?

  38. Anonymous
    July 13th, 2019

    @Will, you are right. there will be no load balancing because forwarding costs are different. but why “metric-type 1” is used in solution? i have seen a lot of dumps, the same thing is in each of them. i did the lab in EVE-NG and GNS3 and found no reason to use “metric-type 1”. if backward routing from R4 to R1 should be symmetrical it should be done other way. for example metric should be explicitly configured during redistribution on R3 with higher value, it can force R4 select path via R2. the question is what should be done on exam, because there is no kind of “full simulation” there. should “metric-type 1” be included into configuration on exam? because in real life it is completely useless for this case…. *confused*

    Don’t be idiots. You do not have to put 105 for the distance. As long as the distance is lower than 110 it will be fine.

    By every person and their mother using “105” the test centers/cisco/etc sees this crap and starts to monitor the answer trend.

    The test centers/cisco and whoever else makes the decisions looks at it like this:
    “””All anyone needs to do is use less than 110, so why is there 1000s of answers using 105? Hmmmm, seems like a cheating trend happening”””

    The next thing you know, if you barely pass the exam or score exactly the passing score, you may be asked to retake the test after its reviewed. I’ve heard of people having to retake even if they passed because their answers were to consistent with dump site answers. Be smart, don’t everyone use the same damn 105 distance…106, 107, 108, 109, 104, will all work too.

  42. suntzu
    July 26th, 2019

    ALL

    One hint for the dreaded PBR simulation:
    From home GNS3 lab you can test before going into exam as below:

    On border fa0/0 set access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq 23
    On border set debug ip policy

    Then from testing host router do telnet 10.1.101.1

    Debug will show what is happening
    Route-map (if it works) will match on telnet port 23
    This proves that it is working

    If not, just create http traffic to test.

    On the redistribution lab, do not everyone use damn 105. That creates a cheating trend and cisco and test centers will start tracking same answers from 1000s of people….use your brains.

    why we do it on R2# distance eigrp 90 105 ? shouldn’t we do it on R3?

  46. HKpirate
    September 5th, 2019

    Because one of the question requirement is:
    ” All traffic must use the shortest path that provides the greatest bandwidth.”

    OSPF route AD is 110 and Eigrp ext. route is 170 ( default)

    if not change , it will go by R1-R2-R4 that not meat the question requirment.

    So, change the Eigrp ext. AD to 105. ( or smaller than OSPF 110 ) to make it select route to R3 .

    So the path = R1-R2-R3-R4

    This question was in my exam with a small change the delay for R3 fastethernet was 100 and not 1000 as this example, the rest was the same.

  48. User42069
    September 18th, 2019

    I’ve done the CCNP route two times in which this question came 2x along. For some reason I can’t answer this question.

    Why is it that you have to use the command ospf 1 and not ospf 24 /34 since that is the area ID and thus the Process ID?

    Also you can enter R4 as well for some reason.

    OSPF process ID is different from OSPF area ID.
