This case study addresses the i ssue of integrating Routing Information Protocol (RIP) networks with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) networks. Most OSPF networks also use RIP to communicate with hosts or to communicate with portions of the internetwork that do not use OSPF. Cisco supports both the RIP and OSPF protocols and provides a way to exchange routing information between RIP and OSPF networks. This case study provides examples of how to complete the following phases in redistributing information between RIP and OSPF networks, including the following topics:

 

• Configuring a RIP Network

   

   

• Adding OSPF to the Center of a RIP Network

   

   

• Adding OSPF Areas

   

   

• Setting Up Mutual Redistribution
