CCNP Route Control: Seed Metrics and External Types
Archive lab
Lab 2 of 5 in CCNP Route Control: Redistribution, Route Maps, PBR & IP SLA · ← Previous · Next →
Set one seed metric for every route entering EIGRP, and carry EIGRP routes into OSPF as type 1 externals.
Learning objectives
- Set a default seed metric for routes entering EIGRP
- Redistribute EIGRP into OSPF as type 1 externals
- Compare E1 and E2 costs from the OSPF side
Troubleshooting focus
- A redistributed route shows a flat cost of 20: it is still type 2
- The partner subnet never appears: check what R-ACQ redistributes

How this lab is graded
- Build it your way. Where a lab lets you choose a value — a VLAN name, an interface description — grading checks that you configured it, not which name you picked. Names that another line has to reference, like an ACL applied with
access-class, are stated in the guide and do have to match. - Addresses, modes and protocol keywords are exact. An IP address, a subnet mask,
switchport mode trunk, an encapsulation — these carry the meaning of the lab, so they are graded as written in the guide. - Grading reads your saved configuration. Export the lab from CML after you have configured it, and make sure anything you set is in the
running-config— a change that only exists in a terminal session never reaches the grader. - You can submit as many times as you like. Your best score stands, and each attempt tells you which checks passed so you can work the gaps.
- Scored something you believe is correct? Use Report an issue on this page — that is exactly how the grading fixes in the changelog got found.
