Redistribution into OSPF
1 like•458 views
This document discusses redistributing routes between OSPF and EIGRP routing protocols. There are two types of external routes when redistributing into OSPF - E1 and E2. E1 routes are redistributed with the default metric plus the internal OSPF cost, while E2 routes are redistributed with the default metric unchanged. The example topology redistributes routes between two EIGRP domains into an OSPF domain, marking one set of redistributed routes as E1 and the other as E2. Verification commands are provided to check the redistribution.
Redistribution into OSPF
- 2. There are similarities and differences when compared to EIGRP redistribution. OSPF does have default metrics but in EIGRP must set them. Both of them mark routes as being External. When make redistribution into OSPF external routes can be of two types: E1 and E2. OSPF uses LSAs to represent external routes and apply a different logic to calculate routes to external subnets..
- 4. we have two types of external routes: E1 and E2. Those marked E2 will be redistributed with Default Metric unchanged an will ignore internal OSPF cost (except when there is a need to break ties for best route). For those marked with E1, OSPF will take Default Metric and will add to it internal cost to reach ASBR. Default Metric for routes taken from BGP is 1, for routes taken from another OSPF process will use the source route’s metric, and for all other sources will use default metric equal to 20. In the topology we have two EIGPR domains and one OSPF domain. we will make redistribution of routes from EIGRP domain 1 as E1 routes and from EIGRP domain 2 as E2. To each EIGRP domain we attached two loopback interfaces, so after we configure redistribution on R2 we should have external routes to them.

- 9. Now R1 should be EIGRP neighbor with R3 and R4, also R1 with R2 should be OSPF neighbors. Check them with show ip eigrp neighbors and show ip ospf neighbor commands. Further we will add redistribution commands on R1 to import routes in OSPF domain. Routes learned from EIGRP domain 1 will be marked with E1, from EIGRP domain 2 will be marked with E2.

If we do not type metric type it will be E2, this is default metric type. It’s time to check what we got. I put on R3 and R4 default routes to point all unknown traffic to R1 (in our case it will be traffic to R2).
- 12. As we can see in the previous slide picture redistribution has worked, Routes redistributed from first EIGRP domain are marked as E1 and have cost of 30 which is the sum of the default metric (20) and 10 Mb/s link cost (10) that connects R1 with R2. Routes learned from second EIGRP domain are marked with E2 and have cost of 20 (default metric).
