HQ runs OSPF and the company it bought runs EIGRP. Join them at the boundary router so both sites reach each other.
Start here — freeCCNP Route Control: Redistribution, Route Maps, PBR & IP SLA
Join OSPF and EIGRP, filter and tag what crosses, steer traffic with policy routing and IP SLA, then repair a broken border.
Topics
What you'll learn
- Bring the boundary router into the second routing domain
- Redistribute routes in both directions with a working seed metric
- Verify each host reaches the other site
- 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
- Build a prefix list that names exactly the subnets to keep
- Attach it to redistribution through a route map
Included labs
Set one seed metric for every route entering EIGRP, and carry EIGRP routes into OSPF as type 1 externals.
View lab detailsThe acquired site is leaking its vendor test bench into HQ. Let only its production subnets into OSPF.
View lab detailsMark the partner extranet so HQ can tell it apart: give it its own metric, external type and tag as it enters OSPF.
View lab detailsAdd a second boundary router for resilience, then stop it from routing the acquired site's routes the long way round.

What's included in the CCNP Route Control: Redistribution, Route Maps, PBR & IP SLA bundle?
5 hands-on, auto-graded CCNP labs spanning 8 topics — each one a real Cisco Modeling Labs scenario you build on Cisco IOS.
Can I buy this bundle?
No — a subscription is the only plan we sell, and it includes every lab in this bundle for as long as it's active.
Do I need my own Cisco CML to run these labs?
Yes — each lab is a Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) topology you import and build on real Cisco IOS, and the CML free tier is enough. You download the topology and lab guide, then build it yourself.
How does the grading work?
Every lab ships as a problem to solve. You build it in CML, then submit your config to grade it against the answer key — you get a pass/fail on each objective, so you know exactly what's right and what to fix instead of guessing.
Which certification is this bundle for?
CCNP. The labs are sequenced to build the hands-on configuration and troubleshooting skills CCNP candidates are expected to demonstrate on real gear.
