redistribute ospf [metric <value>]

Use the redistribute ospf command to advertise routes from one protocol to another, regardless of the
routing protocol implemented on the routing domain. Using the ospf keyword allo ws the prop ag ation of
OSPF routes into RIP. Use the no form of this command to disable the propagation of the specified route
type.
Syntax Description

in RIP.
Default Values
By default, this command is disabled.

Functional Notes
Redistributing OSPF routes impor ts those routes into RIP without the interfaces in question actually
participating in RIP. The OSPF routes imported this way are not covered by a network command and
therefore do not send/receive RIP traffic.
If redistribute ospf is enabled and no metric value is specified, the value defaults to 0. The metric value
defined using the redistribute ospf metric command ov er rid es the default-metric command’s metric
setting. Refer to the section timeout-timer <seconds> on page 1324 for more information.
Usage Examples
The following example imports OSPF routes into RIP:
(config)#router rip
(config-rip)#redistribute ospf
