CORRECT TEXT
You are a network engineer with ROUTE.com, a small IT company. They have recently merged
two organizations and now need to merge their networks as shown in the topology exhibit. One
network is using OSPF as its IGP and the other is using EIGRP as its IGP. R4 has been added to
the existing OSPF network to provide the interconnect between the OSPF and EIGRP networks.
Two links have been added that will provide redundancy.
The network requirements state that you must be able to ping and telnet from loopback 101 on R1
to the OPSF domain test address of 172.16.1.100. All traffic must use the shortest path that
provides the greatest bandwidth. The redundant paths from the OSPF network to the EIGRP
network must be available in case of a link failure. No static or default routing is allowed in either
network.
A previous network engineer has started the merger implementation and has successfully
assigned and verified all IP addressing and basic IGP routing. You have been tasked with
completing the implementation and ensuring that the network requirements are met. You may not
remove or change any of the configuration commands currently on any of the routers. You may
add new commands or change default values.

Answer: See the explanation

Explanation:
First we need to find out 5 parameters (Bandwidth, Delay, Reliability, Load, MTU) of the
s0/0/0 interface (the interface of R2 connected to R4) for redistribution:
R2#show interface s0/0/0
Write down these 5 parameters, notice that we have to divide the Delay by 10 because the metric
unit is in tens of microsecond. For example, we get Bandwidth=1544 Kbit, Delay=20000 us,
Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500 bytes then we would redistribute as follows:
R2#config terminal
R2(config)# router ospf 1

R2(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets
R2(config-router)#exit
R2(config-router)#router eigrp 100
R2(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 1544 2000 255 1 1500
Note: In fact, these parameters are just used for reference and we can use other parameters with
no problem.
If the delay is 20000us then we need to divide it by 10, that is 20000 / 10 = 2000)
For R3 we use the show interface fa0/0 to get 5 parameters too
R3#show interface fa0/0
For example we get Bandwidth=10000 Kbit, Delay=1000 us, Reliability=255, Load=1, MTU=1500
bytes
R3#config terminal
R3(config)#router ospf 1
R3(config-router)#redistribute eigrp 100 metric-type 1 subnets
R3(config)#exit
R3(config-router)#router eigrp 100
R3(config-router)#redistribute ospf 1 metric 10000 100 255 1 1500
Finally you should try to “show ip route” to see the 172.16.100.1 network (the network behind R4)
in the routing table of R1 and make a ping from R1 to this network.
Note: If the link between R2 and R3 is FastEthernet link, we must put the command below under
EIGRP process to make traffic from R1 to go through R3 (R1 -> R2 -> R3 -> R4), which is better
than R1 -> R2 -> R4.
R2(config-router)# distance eigrp 90 105
This command sets the Administrative Distance of all EIGRP internal routes to 90 and all EIGRP
external routes to 105, which is smaller than the Administrative Distance of OSPF (110) -> the link
between R2 & R3 will be preferred to the serial link between R2 & R4.
Note: The actual OPSF and EIGRP process numbers may change in the actual exam so be sure
to use the actual correct values, but the overall solution is the same.
