Redistribute static

Hi,

redistrubute static will allow you to inject or include your static routes into your eigrp routing protocol.
the word 'Static" will act as the word "Network" in your eigrp statement.

example:
!========static routes========
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
!
router eigrp 100
network 172.16.0.1  0.0.0.255
network 172.17.1.1  0.0.0.255
Redistribute static  <<== will advertise the static routes mentioned above..

Hope that helps

Cheers
John

Would those routes then carry on to the main site? Problem is I have gained control of a campus and I need to create a new network for VPN users. We do not exactly get along with HQ that we are connected to. If I add a route to my switch that belongs to their EIGRP system with redistribute static enabled, could I potentially screw up something on their side if I inject a route with a overlapping network?

To the Top.

We will not be getting on good terms with HQ, that is out of the question. We will be breaking off from them in the next couple months.
We do not need to get to any HQ devices on this new network and HQ does NOT need to know about my static routes, so I think it is safe to turn off the redistribute static command on my main router?

Thoughts?

Otto,
We do have a couple static routes to singles hosts over IPSEC VPN tunnels. Currently the "ip routing" command is not enabled, will it need to be for the static routes to function when I remove redistribute static command from EIGRP?

Bump I wanna give someone some points!
