Motivated w/Route Redistribution

I think I've tamed the beast "Route Redistribution"! As I mentioned before I tend to look too far into things that I miss the big picture. I put together a frame cloud along with multi-area OSPF with a little RIPV2 on one of my ABR/ASBR. All the routes were pingeable (is this even a word hmmmmm oh well you know what I mean) except of course my RIP routes but quickly that was resolved by redistributing the RIP/OSPF on my ASBR & Sweet Tameisha! I was able to ping my RIP routes from a router that was in another OSPF area and saw it as a O E2 route.

I know I'm babbling but it's so sweet to see the outcome you were expecting and realizing that your time you put in to learn your craft is not going in vain. I just started labbing through the use of Dynamips (which is fantastic) and instead of just reading theory that light bulb comes on when you're see a debug command or you run the debug ospf adj command it's just motivation to complete what you actually love doing. So I want to thank those who blog about their road to bigger and better things, you did motivated me to really finish this journey and beyond.

Tonight will be more redistribution and making sure I understand the different LSA's types...

OSPF AND FRAME RELAY

Okay time to update my progress. I've finally put a schedule together to follow because I'm one of those individuals who would be all over the place i.e. trying to figure out IPV6 before I even begin BGP *which I've have looked at that multi-hop command is something else...oh gosh see there I go again all over the place..back to the blog...geeesh*.

I'm a big fan of Train signal CISCO Courses taught by the infamous "I'm Chris Bryant CCIE #12933" you gotta Love this Guy. And recently I've been tackling the OSPF portion (Train signal) which I must say I've gotten this down pretty well so far but I had a weird problem occur tonight. I've lab a hub and spoke topology where R1 was my spoke and so on. Well I had all the pings go through well from each router and then I placed OSPF to run over them.....and my Hub defaulted to the NBMA but R2 stayed as POINT-POINT which amazed me but like Chris Bryant says, one command that is usually left behind is the "show ip ospf interface" and there it was Point-Point. So I just changed the network typed made sure my neighbor statements were correct on the hub and SWEET TAMEIKA *Yes I'm African American so Sweet Mary just wouldn't sound right lol..okay I had to put that out there it was a bit funny to me" but anywayssss.
All worked after a few hours of trying to figure out why am I not seeing my OSPF routes but seeing my multi-area routes between R1/R3.... So the moral to this story, slowww down run a few show commands and you'll be up and running in no time. Tomorrow after church I'll finish this lab with multi area OSPF and using the Virtual Link command.

Side note... I think I look too far into things for instance Route Redistribution I'm really looking forward to it but a somewhat intimidated by it because why you might ask, I'm all over the place I want to know it right there and then *Being a Gemini I guess is my down fall*.

So let me end this at 3 something in the morning and dream of route distribution and BGP no, no route distribution :).

Hey Aragoen dude you're a study beast!

"Under Heavy Construction"

This page is truly in the beginning stage as is my pursuit towards mastering BSCI (well actually BGP and IPV6). I appreciate those who have shown interest and I'll be updating the site soon....
