Route redistribution Query

Is Route Redistribution part of ICND1 syllabus ?
I checked did not see it there.

Router(config-router)#default-information ?
originate Distribute a default route

1. No there is no redistribution
2. default-information originate is not a redistribute command, it's used to advertise a default route only if there is a route in the underlying IGP table

Route Redistribution is covered on CCNP: ROUTE. As for "default-information originate", you probably won't be expected to know anything more than what it does (advertises a default route).

Not necessarily, it depends on the IGP. RIP doesn't require route in RIB, OSPF does, but doesn't if you add "always" on the end.

Agreed. I was assuming OSPF.

it use to be part of CCNA, they moved it to CCNP when the test changed in 2013.

It wasn't on the 2007-2013 exams (which I took), but I do believe it was on previous exams. I have some older CCNA books which include topics which are now on the CCNP and I think Route Redistribution was one of them. The Pre-2007 exam topics just said "Configure Routing Protocols", which could have included Route Redistribution. Thankfully, Cisco has been getting more explicit in their exam topics in recent years.

Strange. I didn't have any redistribution on my exam, but did run into a question that was CCNP level. I have heard that Cisco will sometimes add ungraded questions to see how people do (for future inclusion maybe).
