for lack of imagination, if nothing else, I'm spending this morning practicing redistribution over various routers connected via a frame relay cloud.
nothing exciting, nothing new, but I wanted to refresh my memory on certain behaviours. so I have set up the classic cloud topology as appears in many many practice scenarios from Caslow as well as various training places. you know the one. hub and spoke, with two spoke routers sharing a multipoint subinterface from the hub, and the third router on a point-to-point subinterface. physical interfaces on the spoke routers. I have placed a high admin distance protocol on the multipoint link, and am trying various lower admin distance protocols on the point-to-point link. redistribution takes place at the hub, and yes I am deliberately trying to trash the hub's routing table by having the routes that are sent to the p2p router readvertised to the hub. those routes replace what is in the hub's routing table because they have a lower admin distance. experiments with various protocols are leaving me to conclude that there really aren't too many variations one can use. Not without doing things like manually changing the admin distance of RIP to something like 80.... thinking out loud........ Wait a minute........So THAT'S why it was done THAT way!!!!!!! Crafty SOB's!!!!!!! Back to the rack....... I may have a Q&D problem for the weekend crowd...... -- coming soon: www.chuckslongroad.info Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=51532&t=51532 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
