Cisco ROUTE 2.0: Redistribution Using Distribute and Prefix Lists

Course details

• Many IP routing challenges can be solved using route redistribution. Having a method to manipulate the redistribution process increases your options and flexibility. There is no one type of route filter that is appropriate for every situation. Therefore, the more techniques that you have at your disposal, the better your chances of solving connectivity challenges. To ensure that the network operates efficiently, you often need to control the redistribution process. By implementing filtering mechanisms, you can influence which information is redistributed between different protocols. Controlling the exchange of routing information and routing metrics manipulation enables you to ensure optimal traffic flow within the network. After completing this course, you will be able to use distribute lists and prefix lists techniques to manipulate redistribution.
