Prevencin de loop de ruteo con redistribucin OSPF - EIGRP

Issue: External EIGRP route not reachable by R1 and R10 in the topology bellow after redistribution between OSPF and EIGRP configured in R1 and R10

Solution: Before we start with the solution lets see the routing tables of each of the routers above R3: R3#sho ip route 3.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 3.3.3.0 is directly connected, Loopback0 10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet1/0 D EX 192.168.1.0/24 [170/2560002816] via 10.1.1.10, 00:00:43, FastEthernet1/0 [170/2560002816] via 10.1.1.1, 00:00:42, FastEthernet1/0 150.1.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 150.1.1.0 is directly connected, Loopback1 as we can see the network 150.1.1.0 is a directly connected network in R3 and this network advertised as external EIGRP network through redistribution in other words R1 and R10 supposed to see this network as external EIGRP, lets see the routing table of R1 and R10: R1#show ip route 150.1.1.0 Routing entry for 150.1.1.0/24 Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20 Tag 190, type extern 2, forward metric 1 Redistributing via eigrp 10 Advertised by eigrp 10 metric 1 1 1 1 1 Last update from 192.168.1.10 on FastEthernet1/0, 00:03:23 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 192.168.1.10, from 192.168.1.10, 00:03:23 ago, via FastEthernet1/0 Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1 Route tag 190 R10#show ip route 150.1.1.0 Routing entry for 150.1.1.0/24 Known via "eigrp 10", distance 170, metric 2560002816 Tag 190, type external Redistributing via ospf 1, eigrp 10 Advertised by ospf 1 subnets tag 190

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) R1#ping 150.1.1.1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 150.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) the problem here is that EIGRP External Route has Administrative Distance of 170 and we did what is know as mutual redistribution between OSPF and EIGRP in both routers this issue will happen with External EIGRP route only here, because each of R1 and R10 will see this route with less distance from each other and a route looping will form in this case there are several ways to solve issues like this and always it depends on the network design and how complex it is. In this document we will see how we can solve this issue by using route filtering with Route tagging as we can see from the abvoe routing tales of R1 and R10 there is a tag associated with the network 150.1.1.0 in R1 and R10 the is because when the redistributin from EIGRP into OSPF configured its taged the traffic using he bellow commands: R1: router ospf 1 redistribute eigrp 10 subnets tag 1090 R10: router ospf 1 redistribute eigrp 10 subnets tag 190 now if we look the show ip route result again we can see both routers have the tagging which means that the routes is learned via OSPF after being redistributed and the reason as mentioned above because of the higher distance of external EIGRP AD R1#show ip route 150.1.1.0 Routing entry for 150.1.1.0/24 Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20 Tag 190, type extern 2, forward metric 1 Redistributing via eigrp 10 Advertised by eigrp 10 metric 1 1 1 1 1 Last update from 192.168.1.10 on FastEthernet1/0, 00:16:49 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 192.168.1.10, from 192.168.1.10, 00:16:49 ago, via FastEthernet1/0 Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1 Route tag 190 --- ----190 fom R10 R10#show ip route 150.1.1.0 Routing entry for 150.1.1.0/24
