CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 32

Company XYZ has two routing domains in their network EIGRP and OSPF. The company wants to provide full reachability between the two domains by implementing redistribution on a router running both protocols. They need to design the redistribution in a way that the OSPF routers will see link costs added to external routes. How must the redistribution strategy be designed for this network?

Answer options

• A. Redistribute using metric type 2 into OSPF
• B. Redistribute using metric type 1 into OSPF
• C. Redistribute using metric type 2 into EIGRP
• D. Redistribute using metric type 1 into EIGRP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Choosing metric type 1 for redistribution into OSPF allows external routes to be considered with their link costs, ensuring proper cost calculations for routing decisions. Metric type 2 would not add the costs correctly, while options C and D pertain to EIGRP and are irrelevant to the requirement of influencing OSPF route metrics.
