Cisco 400-007 Exam - Topic 4 Question 74 Discussion

Posted by Val on Apr 01, 2026 at 05:15 PM

Company XYZ has two routing domains in their network, EIGRP and OSPF. The company wants to provide full reachability between the two domains by implementing redistribution on a router running both protocols. They need to design the redistribution in a way that the OSPF routers will see link costs added to external routes. How must the redistribution strategy be designed for this network?

I'm leaning towards option A too. It simplifies the routing decisions for OSPF.

I prefer option B. Metric type 1 allows OSPF to consider both internal and external costs.

I think option A is the best choice. Metric type 2 keeps OSPF costs intact.

I thought EIGRP was better for this, not sure about OSPF.

Definitely B, OSPF needs to see those costs right!

Wait, are we sure about that? Type 1 seems risky.

I think A is better, type 2 just adds confusion.

Gotta go with B, metric type 1 is the way to go!

I vaguely remember that type 2 metrics don’t add the internal cost to the external routes, so maybe that means we should go with type 1 for OSPF?

I’m a bit confused about the differences between metric types in EIGRP and OSPF. I hope I can recall the specifics during the exam.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to decide between metric type 1 and type 2 for OSPF redistribution. I feel like type 1 is the right choice for this scenario.

I remember studying that OSPF uses different metric types for external routes, but I'm not sure which one to choose here.
