1/ Do I have to redistrt bgd in ospf to make ospf to know which upstrem bgp routers to go out
Just an addition to what the others have already said. Redistributing BGP into OSPF is rarely an effective thing to do. Am not sure OSPF can handle that number of routes well.
2/ If yes, how many routes can ospf database handle as one full bgp table is about 400,000 routes
3/ When we have 8 ospf routers to run "redistrubt bgp", ls it 8 x 400,000 routes in ospf database?
I'd think so, as each of the 8 routers will generate type 5 LSAs for their 400k routes from BGP.
4/ If not redistribted bgp, how ospf to know which upstream to go out
More important question is why do u want OSPF to know that information? Is it the right protocol to do that?
Thank you for your help
