redistribute ospf question

henrybb

In my lab,I don't know why 6.2.1.0/24 is redistributed into ospf 2,and 99.128.1.0/24 doesn't.

From cisco document:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a008009487e.shtml. Cisco said "Note: The mechanics of route redistribution is proprietary on Cisco routers. The rules for redistribution on a Cisco router dictate that the redistributed route be present in the routing table. It is not sufficient that the route be present in the routing topology or database. "

And in my lab,these two static route is "static" in routing table,So why one can be redistributed via "redistribute ospf 1" and another doesn't ?

thanks!

Hi,

Your database output shows additional routers "99.1.133.230" and "99.129.1.1", who also could contribute to your puzzle.

Could you please provide the output of "show ip ospf database external", which should help to clarify the situation.

The puzzle for me is, why those static routes show up in OSPF 2 in the first place. "redistribute ospf 1" can be rephrased to "Redistribute everything inserted into the routing table by process OSPF 1". Both static routes should not be redistributed this way, as they are no OSPF routes.

So please provide the config of the other OSPF routers in your lab and the output from "show ip ospf database external".

regards, Martin

There isn't any other routers in my lab. "99.1.133.230" and "99.129.1.1" is the same router.

You puzzle is for me,too.

This is an observation. I can't help but note:

router ospf 1

redistribute static subnets

network 6.0.0.0 0.127.255.255 area 0

ip route 6.2.1.0 255.255.255.0 Null0

ip route 99.128.1.0 255.255.255.0 Null0

The route that makes it to OSPF 2 just happens to be a match to the network statement in OSPF 1. The network statement includes all interfaces having addresses from 6.0.0.0 to 6.128.255.255. I don't think that should have any relevance, but it strikes me as interesting with the difference between the two routes. I presume 99.1.133.230 is an interface address on the local router? Where is 99.129.1.1? again I suspect it is local, but it would be nice to confirm. I would be tempted fo force the OSPF router ID on the two processes for clarity. I would also be tempted to add another static that matched the network statement, just to see what hapenned.

thanks for your guide. It have relevance.

I think that "ip route ... interface" in CISCO is special static route. In my lab,6.2.1.0/24 is one route in OSPF 1 because CISCO think this route is connected route in OSPF 1 domain. So it was redistributed into OSPF 2.

If I change route from "null 0 " to ip address,for example:

ip route 6.2.1.0 255.255.255.0 99.128.1.3

This route wasn't redistributed to OSPF 2.

"ip route ... interface" is special route type.

When you do "redis connected",this type route wasn't redistributed .You must do "redis static".

So I don't know why CISCO do this, but it do.

Sometime this route is regarded as connected route when you redistribute between dynamic routing protocol or doesn't redistribute. Sometime it is regarded as static route if you redistribute from static to dynamic routing protocol.

I'm in puzzle.

thanks!
