Redistribution of Protocols -EIGRP and OSPF

Redistribution

-a company may buy another company and they may be running different roting protocols. when this happens, we use redistribution. its to make sure that you are combing those two routes so they can communicate.

Why?

-when its a big company with a lot of routeers. Merger, when they merge, of they buy that company and the other company runs EIGRP, so if they are running two separate routing protocols at the same time, we use the process of redistribution.

a good network engineer will use the same routing protocols for all the offices but that’s not the case so people move across. someone comes in let me put OSPF here, and me put EIGRP. so they don’t have the same routing protocols running across the networks.

A lot of companies run documentations and stuff unless its an old company.

if they are not truing OSPG but OSPF with different areas or AS numbers, they have to do redistribution

“Route redistribution is when you take a route from one routing protocol and distribute it into another protocol.”

It could never static, it could be dynamic (OSPF =, EIGRP)

-it will take years to change one routing protocol

Where is redistribution done on?
