Configures

Redistribution of routes between protocols

Default

Disabled

Description

This command allows you to redistribute routes from one routing protocol to another. It also allows you to redistribute static routes into a routing protocol. Some protocols require you to specify a default metric that will be assigned to external routes. See the default-metric command and Chapters 8 and 9 for more information.

protocol

This is the protocol from which routes are redistributed. If a process ID or local AS is required for the protocol, you must provide that as well. Possible values are bgp, igrp, eigrp, isis, ospf, and rip. You can also redistribute static routes.

metric value

Optional. This keyword sets the metric value for the redistributed route. If you don’t have a value defined here, the router uses the default metric as defined in the default-metric command. For most redistribution, you must define a default metric. Exceptions to this rule are static routes and IGRP to EIGRP redistribution.

metric-type type

Optional. This keyword applies to OSPF and IS-IS only. For OSPF, this allows you to assign two possible metric type values: 1 (Type 1 external route) and 2 (Type 2 external route). The default type for OSPF is Type 2. For IS-IS, the options are internal (the metric is less than 63) and external (the metric is greater ...
