CCNP Routing and Switching ROUTE 300-101 Official Cert Guide

Redistribution into EIGRP

This section looks at the specifics of how EIGRP performs redistribution—that is, how EIGRP takes routes from other routing sources, such as OSPF, and advertises them into EIGRP. In real life, engineers often use both route filtering and route summarization at the redistribution point on a router. However, for the sake of making the underlying concepts clear, this portion of the chapter focuses on the mechanics of redistribution, without filtering, or summarization, or any other changes to the redistributed routes. This chapter later looks at the interesting options for manipulating routes at the redistribution point.

This section begins with a couple of short discussions of reference information. The first topic summarizes ...
