Redistribution of BGP Routes into EIGRP

[DanielBowen]

Hi there,

I am trying to redistribute several BGP learned routes into EIGRP with the config below:

router eigrp 1
redistribute bgp 65100
network x.x.x.x
no auto-summary

This router is obviously running BGP and knows about four routes from the BGP speaker in another AS. Trouble is, all the other routers in EIGRP1 do not show these routes in their routing tables.

Does nybody know why this could be happening?

best regards,

Daniel,

when redistributing into EIGRP you MUST specify a metric. There are a number of ways that you can do this. You can use the default-metric command in router eigrp mode:

eigrp 100
default-metric 10000 100 1 255 1500

or you could specify it at the end of the redistribute command:

eigrp 100
redistribute bgp 4 metric 10000 100 1 255 1500

or you can use a route-map in conjunction with the redistribute command. this one allows for the most functionality:

eigrp 100
redistribute bgp 4 route-map BGP-2-EIGRP

route-map BGP-2-EIGRP permit 10
set metric 10000 100 1 255 1500

hope this helps.. Erik Rudnick, CCIE No. 9545
