Now we are going to redistribute OSP and EIGRP bidirecrionally.

If we redistribute with the same metric on both R9 and R10 then, EIGRP will
load balance traffic to the core between R53 and R54.

When we check OSPF cost for a destination in the core, such as R8 interface
e0/3 10.254.0.26, we find out that on R9 the cost is 30 and on R10 the cost is
20.

R9#sh ip route 10.254.0.26

Routing entry for 10.254.0.24/30
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 30, type intra area
[…]
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.254.0.17, from 10.255.1.8, 00:23:41 ago, via Ethernet0/0
Route metric is 30, traffic share count is 1

R10#sh ip route 10.254.0.26

Routing entry for 10.254.0.24/30
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20, type intra area
[…]
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.254.0.29, from 10.255.1.8, 00:23:09 ago, via Ethernet0/0
Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1

The best path is via R10 because lower cost is preferred.

So we create a route-map that match cost between 0 and 21 and we set the
bandwidth to 10000 in order to lower the metric in the redistribution.

The other costs (>21) will have a bandwidth of 1000 which set a higher
metric in the redistribution.

The second problem is about R52 loopback52 interface 52.52.52.52. That

subnet is an external EIGRP route. So when EIGRP load balance that route, R9
learns it via OSPF with an AD of 110 and via EIGRP with an AD of 170.
As a result, R9 should the suboptimal route via OSPF because 110<170.

To correct that, we need to deny routes tagged with 172.172.172.172 on R9

and R10.
