Chapter 7: Routing Policy Configuration Guide

The from-proto parameter specifies the protocol of the source routes. The values for the from-proto parameter are rip, ospf, bgp, direct, static, aggregate and ospf-ase. The to- proto parameter specifies the destination protocol where the routes are to be exported. The values for the to-proto parameter are rip, ospf and bgp. The network parameter provides a means to define a filter for the routes to be distributed. The network parameter defines a filter that is made up of an IP address and a mask. Routes that match the filter are considered as eligible for redistribution.

Every protocol (RIP, OSPF, and BGP) has a configurable parameter that specifies default- metric associated with routes exported to that protocol. If a metric is not explicitly specified with the redistribute command, then it is inherited from the default-metric associated with the protocol to which the routes are being exported.

Redistributing Static Routes

Static routes may be redistributed to another routing protocol such as RIP or OSPF by the following command. The network parameter specifies the set of static routes that will be redistributed by this command. If all static routes are to be redistributed set the network parameter to all. Note that the network parameter is a filter that is used to specify routes that are to be redistributed.

To redistribute static routes, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode:

To redistribute static routes

ip-router

policy

redistribute

from-proto

into RIP.

static to-proto

rip network all

 

 

 

 

 

To redistribute static routes

ip-router

policy

redistribute

from-proto

into OSPF.

static to-proto

ospf network all

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redistributing Directly Attached Networks

Routes to directly attached networks are redistributed to another routing protocol such as RIP or OSPF by the following command. The network parameter specifies a set of routes that will be redistributed by this command. If all direct routes are to be redistributed set the network parameter to all. Note that the network parameter is a filter that is used to specify routes that are to be redistributed.

To redistribute direct routes, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode:

To redistribute direct routes

ip-router

policy

redistribute

from-proto

into RIP.

direct to-proto

rip network all

 

 

 

 

 

To redistribute direct routes

ip-router

policy

redistribute

from-proto

into OSPF.

direct to-proto

ospf network all
