Ben, Thanks for the information. I will try removing the default metric commands to see if they are needed.
In what kind of scenario can redistributing both routing protocols cause a routing loop? Here is a crude diagram on how the system is setup: Workstations---linux router w/ospf----cisco 3560 w/ospf & eigrp----cisco 3560 w/eigrp---workstations If I didn't redistribute both ways the devices on both sides could not access each other.
