Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch manual Redistributing Static Routes

Chapter 11: Routing Policy Configuration Guide

The from-protoparameter specifies the protocol of the source routes. The values for the from-proto parameter can be 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-protoparameter can be 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 the 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
