What is the difference between OSPF Exteral Type 1 (O E1) & External Type 2 (O E2) routes????..

Answer / kamalpreet singh

when we redistribute a protocol in ospf, by default it
accept those route as E2 in ospf domain. E1 & E2 is external
type 1 and rxternal type 2. in Cisco external route are E2
by nature.

Basically difference between E1 and E2 is : E1 includes
internal cost to ASBR added to external cost, E2 does not
include internal cost. it is same as external cost.

E1 is prefered if route is equal cost path exist.

Example: R1-R2-R3 is connected and R3 is a ASBR. and suppose
a cost of between R1 to R2 is 10 and R2 to R3 is 10. Cost
of external router on R3(asbr) is 1800. now if you thik
about E1 cost to external route from R1 is (10+10+1800) 1820
but in case of E2 it is 1800..

E1 is usefull when there are multiple ASBR to same
destination and E2 is usefull when there is only one ASBR in
to reach destinaltion.

Verify that Routers A and B have established an OSPF
neighbor relationship.

rtrA#show ip ospf neighbor

Verify that Router B is receiving the six EIGRP routes from
Router C

rtrB#show ip route

Modify the configuration on Router B to redistribute the
classful EIGRP routes into OSPF.

router ospf 1
redistribute eigrp 1

When the command redistribute eigrp 1 is entered, the router
will give you the following friendly reminder:

rtrB(config-router)#redistribute eigrp 1
% Only classful networks will be redistributed

Determine the routes that have been redistributed by
examining the IP routing table on Router A.

rtrA#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M -
mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF

P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
1.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

O E2 205.5.5.0/24 [110/20] via 10.1.1.2, 00:33:23, Serial0/1
O E2 5.0.0.0/8 [110/20] via 10.1.1.2, 00:33:23, Serial0/1
O E2 145.5.0.0/16 [110/20] via 10.1.1.2, 00:33:23, Serial0/1
10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, Serial0/1

nly the EIGRP classful routes were redistributed into OSPF.
As you can see in the routing table on Router A, EIGRP
routes were redistributed as external type 2 with a cost or
metric of 20. This information can also be found by
inspecting the OSPF database on Router B.

What is the difference between OSPF Exteral Type 1 (O E1) & External Type 2 (O E2) routes????..

Answer / jitendera kumar sinha

a very good question-
here is specification between two

i am going to explain brefly

please read it carefully.

Route redistribution is the process of taking routes
learned via one routing protocol and injecting those routes
into another routing domain. (Static and connected routes
can also be redistributed.) When a router running OSPF takes
routes learned by another routing protocol and makes them
available to the other OSPF-enabled routers it's
communicating with, that router becomes an Autonomous System
Border Router (ASBR).

Let's work with an example where R1 is running both OSPF and
RIP. R4 is in the same OSPF domain as R1, and we want R4 to
learn the routes that R1 is learning via RIP. This means we
have to perform route redistribution on the ASBR. The routes
that are being redistributed from RIP into OSPF will appear
as E2 routes on R4:

what is asbr-Autonomous System Border Router
(ASBR).Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) is a router
located between an OSPF autonomous system and a non-OSPF
network (such as RIP). ASBRs run both OSPF and another
routing protocol, such as RIP. ASBRs must reside on a
non-stub OSPF area.

and this type of route is called ospf e2 route

Answer / jitu

answer 1 continue

let there are three router

r1---------r2------r3

r1------area 0 protocol ospf
r2------area1 protocol ospf9this is abr router)
r3---------area2 protocol rip(this is asbr router)

now we have to make redisrtubution on asbr router.

so this is called e type

now

e1 is so simlple you make a digram with therer router and
run each by single ospf enabled protocol that is called e1
