Use these commands to create route map instances. There is no limit to the number of set and match
commands per route map, but the convention is to keep the number of match and set filters in a route map
low.
Set
commands do not require a corresponding
match
command.
Configure a route map for route redistribution
Route maps on their own cannot affect traffic and must be included in different commands to affect routing
traffic. To apply a route map to traffic on the E-Series, you must call or include that route map in a
command such as the
redistribute
or
default-information originate
commands in OSPF, ISIS, and BGP.
Route redistribution occurs when FTOS learns the advertising routes from static or directly connected
routes or another routing protocol. Different protocols assign different values to redistributed routes to
identify either the routes and their origins. The metric value is the most common attribute that is changed
to properly redistribute other routes into a routing protocol. Other attributes that can be changed include
the metric type (for example, external and internal route types in OSPF) and route tag. Use the
redistribute
command in OSPF, RIP, ISIS, and BGP to set some of these attributes for routes that are redistributed into
those protocols.
Route maps add to that redistribution capability by allowing you to match specific routes and set or change
more attributes when redistributing those routes.
In Figure 8-25 , the
redistribute
command calls the route map
static ospf
to redistribute only certain
static routes into OSPF. According to the route map
static ospf
, only routes that have a next hop of
Gigabitethernet interface 0/0 and that have a metric of 255 will be redistributed into the OSPF backbone
area.

} CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP Assign an ORIGIN attribute.
set tag
tag-value CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP Specify a tag for the redistributed routes.
set weight
value CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP Specify a value as the route’s weight.
Note: When re-distributing routes using route-maps, the user must take care to create the
route-map defined in the
redistribute
command under the routing protocol. If no route-map is
created, then NO routes are redistributed.
