this has the aroma of a "BS detector" question the IP routing command reference is quite good in this regard. "Redistribute" is under the "protocol independent" commands. the guide explains each switch and discusses which routing protocol the switch relates too.
It may be possible to use the subnets keyword under any of the routing protocol. this does not mean it does anything. ------- >From CCO: subnets (Optional) For redistributing routes into OSPF, the scope of redistribution for the specified protocol. -------- If someone can provide PROOF that using subnets under EIGRP does anything, I am certainly willing to learn something new. I have never seen a situation redistributing routes into EIGRP where subnets did not appear, except when I forget to assign a metric value. Note - there are MANY commands under route-map and routing protocols that show up when you hit the question mark, but may or may not do anything given the particular context. Policy routing related set commands come to mind. If my routers were on line I would come up with a great many more in a few minutes. It may also be that the particular person with whom you are dealing doesn't know what he is talking about. Just cuz he has the certification doesn't mean he knows all there is to know.

The thing that confused me is the subnets keyword: The CCIE suggested that I need to use the "subnets" keyword under the EIGRP process to redistribute the static routes (since they are subnetted): e.g. router eigrp 100 redistribute static subnets But I also read on TCP / IP Vol 1 (by Doyle) that states that subents keyword should only be used when redistributing "discontingous" subnets into "OSPF" - I haven't got the book in front of me on the moment, I can dig up the exact page number tonight... So who is correct? And if the book is wrong, howabouts do I redistribute the subnetted routes into other protocols (like EIGRP, IGRP, BGP etc) Thanks in advance, Lee Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=29161&t=29046 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
