Hi,

Thanks for your response.

R2,R4,R5,R6 are connected to frame-relay with full-mesh PVCs between them. They are on a single subnet. I suppose the BGP sessions should be established to each others' frame relay interface IP addresses. Each router is on its own BGP AS.

There are internal routers in the OSPF (areas 0 & 25) and RIPv2 domains. Routers in the "static" domain point a static default route towards R6. FYI, OSPF areas 0 & 25 belong to the same OSPF process.

It appears that mutual redistribution at every boundary routers should accomplish the task. I'm more concerned about controlling the routes being redistributed in order to prevent routing loop.

I don't see any issue redistributing between RIP & OSPF domains because there's only a single boundary router. The tricky part is redistribution between OSPF and BGP where there are 3 boundary routers. How would you recommend the routing loop prevention mechanism? set community (BGP), set tag (OSPF), etc?

Please advise further.

Thank you.

Hi,

Attached is another complex scenario (as far as I'm concerned). Again, the objective is to perform redistribution such that all routers have IP connectivity to all other routers. For R2 and R5, RIP routes should be preferred.

I've done the config and it looks fine at first. However after resetting OSPF process on R5,R6 & R7, permanent routing loop forms between R2,R4,R5 & R6.

My method:

R1

--

Redis conn -> OSPF

R2

--

Redis OSPF -> RIP

Redis OSPF -> EIGRP

Redis RIP -> OSPF

Redis RIP -> EIGRP (deny routes with tag 200, else set all routes with tag 100)

Redis EIGRP -> RIP (deny routes with tag 100, else set all routes with tag 200)

Redis EIGRP -> OSPF

R4

--

Redis conn -> EIGRP

R5

--

Redis RIP -> EIGRP (deny routes with tag 200, else set all routes with tag 100)

Redis RIP -> OSPF

Redis OSPF -> RIP

Redis OSPF -> EIGRP (deny routes with tag 400, else set all routes with tag 300)

Redis EIGRP -> RIP (deny routes with tag 100, else set all routes with tag 200)

Redis EIGRP -> OSPF (deny routes with tag 300, else set all routes with tag 400)

R6

--

Redis OSPF -> EIGRP (deny routes with tag 400, else set all routes with tag 300)

Redis EIGRP -> OSPF (deny routes with tag 300, else set all routes with tag 400)

R8

--

Redis RIP -> OSPF

Redis OSPF -> RIP

Please advise how you would approach this scenario.

Thank you.
