Cisco CCNP BSCI Certification Troubleshooting Route Redistribution Part I

If there's digit CCNP / BSCI matter that looks so cushy but crapper advance to a actual headache, it's line redistribution. I'm not modify conversation most the routing loops and suboptimal routing that crapper termination when line redistribution is finished without comely thinking - I'm conversation most the base commands themselves. Leaving discover digit azygos bidding option, or forgetting what additional needs to be redistributed when redistributing dynamically unconcealed routes, crapper yield you with a routing plateau that looks rank but does not termination in flooded IP connectivity.

In this liberated CCNP / BSCI tutorial series, we'll verify a countenance at threesome ordinary errors in line redistribution configurations, and how to mend them. We'll ingest threesome routers, R1, R3, and R5. R1 and R5 are in a RIPv2 field and R1 and R3 are in an OSPF domain. R1 module be performing two-way line redistribution.

R5 is business its loopback, 5.5.5.5/24, into the RIPv2 domain. R1 sees this line in its RIP routing table:

R1#show ip line rip

5.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

R 5.5.5.0 [120/1 via 100.1.1.5, 00:00:01, Ethernet0

For R3 to wager this route, line redistribution staleness be organized on R1. We'll ingest the redistribute countercurrent bidding to do so.

R1(config)#router ospf 1

R1(config-router)#redistribute rip

% Only classful networks module be redistributed

The router directly gives us a communication that only classful networks module be redistributed. What does this mean? Let's go to R3 and wager if that router is receiving this route.

R3#show ip line ospf

< no production >

When we intend no termination from a exhibit command, that effectuation there's null to show. The exclusive routes that module be successfully redistributed with the underway plan on R1 are classful networks, and 5.5.5.0/24 is a subnet.

To boost elaborate the point, a classful meshwork has been additional to R5. This meshwork is 16.0.0.0 /8, and is today existence advertised by RIP. R1 sees this meshwork as classful...

R1#show ip line rip

R 16.0.0.0/8 [120/1 via 100.1.1.5, 00:00:00, Ethernet0

5.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

R 5.5.5.0 [120/1 via 100.1.1.5, 00:00:00, Ethernet0

... and R3 is receiving the line finished redistribution.

R3#show ip line ospf

O E2 16.0.0.0/8 [110/20 via 172.12.123.1, 00:00:08, Serial0.31

To redistribute both classful and democratic networks, the choice subnets staleness be additional to the redistribute bidding on R1.

R1(config)#router ospf 1

R1(config-router)#no redistribute rip

R1(config-router)#redistribute countercurrent subnets

R3 module today wager both the classful and democratic networks existence redistributed into OSPF. (100.1.1.0 is the meshwork conjunctive R1 and R5.)

R3#show ip line ospf

O E2 16.0.0.0/8 [110/20 via 172.12.123.1, 00:00:20, Serial0.31

100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E2 100.1.1.0 [110/20 via 172.12.123.1, 00:00:20, Serial0.31

5.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E2 5.5.5.0 [110/20 via 172.12.123.1, 00:00:20, Serial0.31

This is digit of the most ordinary errors prefabricated during line redistribution, but today you undergo what to countenance discover for! In the incoming conception of this liberated CCNP / BSCI tutorial, we'll verify a countenance at added much error.
