I have about 10 routers with lookback interfaces assigned
i.e.

Router 1:
interface Loopback0
10.127.0.1 255.255.255.255

Router 2:
interface Loopback0
10.127.0.12 255.255.255.255

etc.

I want to add these netwrork into my EIGRP process

i.e

router 1
router eirgp 100
network 10.127.0.1 0.0.0.0

Question being if I just do a redistribute connected will that suffice? Or do I need to add all loopback addresses like listed above? Or can I do

router eigrp 100
network 10.127.0.0 0.0.0.255

on all router, whcih will take into account all loopback addresses.

THX...
 
Redistribute connected is the best way. Because you have host addresses assigned to those interfaces. If you try using the network command with a /24 or /16 you'll be advertising routes that your routers do not know about.

Redistribute connected is the best way.
