Configuring Redistribution

Redistribution is configured in two steps:

  1. In the routing protocol configuration that is to receive the redistributed routes, use the redistribute command to specify the source of the routes.

  2. Specify the metric to be assigned to the redistributed routes.

For example, the IGRP configuration of Paige in Figure 11.14 is:

router igrp 1 redistribute ospf 1 metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 passive-interface Ethernet1 network 172.20.0.0

This configuration redistributes routes discovered by OSPF process 1 into IGRP process 1. The metric portion of the command assigns IGRP metrics to the routes. In order, the numbers specify:

  • Bandwidth, in kilobits per second

  • Delay, in tens of microseconds

  • Reliability, as a fraction of 255

  • Load, as ...
