Configuring Simple Routing Policies Routing Policy Configuration
The general syntax of the redistribute command is as follows:
The from-proto parameter specifies the protocol of the source routes. The values for the from-proto parameter can
be rip, ospf, bgp, direct, static, aggregate, isis-level-1, isis-level-2 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 can be rip, ospf, ospf-nssa, isis-level-1, isis-level-2, 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, IS-IS 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.
18.2.1 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:
18.2.2 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.
