eigrp stub redistributed

[Ricky Sandhu]

Hi all,

Please see the below snippet of the EIGRP config from one of my routers.

router eigrp 1

network 1.1.1.24 0.0.0.0

network 10.10.200.0 0.0.0.255

network 10.10.201.0 0.0.0.255

network 172.18.24.0 0.0.0.255

network 172.18.124.0 0.0.0.255

redistribute static route-map STATIC-TO-EIGRP

passive-interface default

no passive-interface Tunnel0

no passive-interface Tunnel1

As you notice I am redistributing a static route-map.

If I add the eigrp stub redistributed command, it causes my router's inside IP to become unreachable even though I can still reach the router via the tunnel IP.  Reason I want to add redistibuted to EIGRP is for the obvious reason that I want to advertise the static route-map. Will this work or is the redistributed keyword intended for something totally different?

Tanks

Anybody?

Ok so I discovered the reason for the above issue and am posting an answer here for future reference.

If you add eigrp stub alone, it automatically appends connected summary keywords which means it advertises the connected and summary routes and ignores all others. However if you specify eigrp stub redistributed alone as I was doing, the connected and summary routes get ignored therefore dropping the connect to the inside IP address.

Cheerios!
