Route Redistribution Settings
Route redistribution allows routers on the network, which are running different routing protocols to exchange routing
information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various routers routing tables and assigning
appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among the various routers according to the individual routers
current routing protocol. The Switch can redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to
all routers on the network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the
Static Routing Table on the
local DES-6500 switch is also redistributed.
Routing information source
−
OSPF and the Static Route table. Routing information will be redistributed to RIP. The
following table lists the allowed values for the routing metrics and the types (or forms) of the routing information that will
be redistributed.
Route Source Metric Type
OSPF 0 to 16 All
Internal
External
ExtType1
ExtType2
Inter-E1 Inter-E2
RIP 0 to 16777214 Type 1 Type 2
Static 0 to 16777214 Type 1 Type 2
Local 0 to 16777214 Type 1 Type 2
Table 6- 6. Route Redistribution Source table
Entering the Type combination
−
internal type_1 type_2 is functionally equivalent to all. Entering the combination type_1
type_2 is functionally equivalent to external. Entering the combination internal external is functionally equivalent to all.
Entering the metric 0 specifies transparency.
This window will redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the
network that are running OSPF or RIP. To access the
Route Redistribution Settings window, go to Configuration >
