CCNA4 Case study - Redistributing OSPF into RIP

nick2700

Hey guys,

I'm currently doing the CCNA4 case study, and have gotten a little stuck. I have attached a screenshot of the packet tracer topology.

- The Waihi, Hamilton and Huntly routers all run OSPF area 0, and are connected via serial

- The Taupo router is running RIP v2

- Huntly router and Taupo router are connected via frame relay


I have configured Huntly router to run RIPv2 as well.

On the Huntly router I used the commands:

HuntlyR3(config)# router ospf 33
HuntlyR3(config-router)#redistribute rip subnets

- This enabled the Hamilton and Waihi routers to see the RIP networks (everything fine here)

I also used:

HuntlyR3(config)#router rip
HuntlyR3(config-router)#redistribute ospf 33

- this command allow OSPF to be redistributed into the rip process


PROBLEM:

The issue is the Taupo router cannot see any of the OSPF networks,

All the OSPF configured routers can see the RIP networks, including the Taupo lan.


Any suggestions?


Thanks.

Can the Taupo router see any of the RIP routes from HuntlyR3? If not, make sure you have allowed frame relay to forward broadcasts on both serial links.

Further to my post, I played around with redistributing OSPF into RIP and I had the same issue as you, when you do redistribute ospf 33 you need to specify the metric for RIP i.e redistribute ospf 33 metric 0-16

atorven is correct. When redistributing to RIP or EIGRP, you must specify the metric. The default/seed metric when redistributing into these protocols are unreachable (16 for RIP) so they won't show up in the routing table.

Thanks guys, I'll try this when i get home. What would be a suitable metric to enter for this diagram?

I'd probably do it as a metric 1 for this diagram.

Very cool
