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...
