DESCRIPTION

Redistribute

Route redistribution allows your Switch to import and translate external

Route

routes learned through RIP routing protocol or configured manually

 

(Static) into the OSPF network transparently.

 

 

Active

Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learned through

 

the selected protocol.

 

 

Type

Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are

 

directly comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the

 

internal OSPF cost is added to the AB boundary router to the external

 

metrics.

 

Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable

 

to the OSPF cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router

 

is used in path decision to a destination.

 

 

Metric Value

Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777215). The default metric value is

 

15.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
