While getting together some command prompt syntax from my lab, I got a jolt of nostalgia from labbing ROUTE, and decided to instead configure the lab Topology shown above as I started configuring my switches for Layer 3 routing and before I knew it I was troubleshooting OSPF and EIGRP Ajdacencies!
I will try to get the lab to a place where Redistribution can be labbed in another article solely to cut down on the posts filled with labbing output, however my next post will be the theory sandwiched between labbing articles, so before I am redistributing routes into other routing domains I know all the different ways to accomplish it (and what to troubleshoot when things go wrong)!
The beginning of the Route Redistribution Lab
I’m using my 3750 physical switches with ‘ip routing’ enabled and ‘no switchport’ on connected interfaces to simulate the following Layer 3 Topology:
I will be removing the “Route Table Codes” in show commands, will post it once at the top here for reference, so it will not be in my “show” commands going forward:
Codes: L – local, C – connected, S – static, R – RIP, M – mobile, B – BGP
D – EIGRP, EX – EIGRP external, O – OSPF, IA – OSPF inter area
N1 – OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 – OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 – OSPF external type 1, E2 – OSPF external type 2
i – IS-IS, su – IS-IS summary, L1 – IS-IS level-1, L2 – IS-IS level-2
ia – IS-IS inter area, * – candidate default, U – per-user static route
o – ODR, P – periodic downloaded static route, H – NHRP, l – LISP
+ – replicated route, % – next hop override
Highlighted in red are all the routes I expect to see, I am not sure if I will hook up a 4th router to create an NSSA to demonstrate N1 and N2 routes as I already have a lab / decent grasp on that, and I need to make some serious forward progress on the don’t knows before TSHOOT day!
Current configs of all routers to make sure we are good before getting started:

At this point no routes are configured, only interfaces configured as Layer 3 Point-to-Point connections, along with the discontiguous loopback interfaces on each router.
I did initially configure RIPv2 on the 10.1.23.0/30 network between R2 and R3, but being that I just do not see it in production networks at all (and I see a lot of them), I decided time would be better spent labbing up iBGP and getting into BGP in general as that is the last monster topic to really tackle once more for the CCNP R/S Certification 🙂
This is the Topology that I believe will give each router one dynamic route:
These protocols should cover most of TSHOOT with the exception of IPv6, but if that is anything like the Routing Protocols themselves, the differences will be minimal and covered at very least in detail in the Redistribution theory discussion.
For some reason I have always been a fan of peering iBGP with loopback interfaces and static routes pointing to them, so that is the deal with the configs on R2 and R3.
Without further ado, configuration time!

I am going to leave it here for the Redistribution Lab for tonight
Getting this lab started up from scratch, breaking it a few times / figuring out behaviors, and ultimately getting to this point of configured is absolutely awesome from what I actually intended to do on the equipment (demonstrate a few redistribute commands).
Now that this is set up, I will go through the theory of what Route Redistribution is, then move on to Redistributing this configured lab to demonstrate those concepts.
This will lead into BGP, and I may just throw another router or two into this mix, so if looking for BGP Route Redistribution information this is the correct spot to be!
Almost to the summit 🙂
The DEVNET GRIND!
