Configuring RIP parameters
28
Syntax: [no] permit | deny redistribute <filter-num> all | bgp | ospf | static address <ip-addr>
<ip-mask> [match-metric <value> | set-metric <value> ]
The <filter-num> variable specifies the redistribution filter ID. The software uses the filters in
ascending numerical order. Thus, if filter 1 denies a route from being redistributed, the software
does not redistribute that route even if a filter with a higher ID permits redistribution of the route.
The all parameter applies redistribution to all route types.
The bgp parameter applies redistribution to BGP4 routes only.
The ospf parameter applies redistribution to OSPF routes only.
The static parameter applies redistribution to IP static routes only.
The address <ip-addr> <ip-mask> parameters apply redistribution to the specified network and
subnet address. Use 0 to specify “any”. For example, “207.92.0.0 255.255.0.0“ means “any
207.92.x.x subnet”. However, to specify any subnet (all subnets match the filter), enter “address
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255”.
The match-metric <value> parameter applies the redistribution filter only to those routes with the
specified metric value; possible values are from 1 through 15.
The set-metric <value> parameter sets the RIP metric value that will be applied to those routes
imported into RIP.
The following command denies redistribution into RIP for all OSPF routes.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#deny redistribute 3 ospf address 207.92.0.0
255.255.0.0
The following command denies redistribution for all OSPF routes that have a metric of 10.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#deny redistribute 3 ospf address 207.92.0.0
255.255.0.0 match-metric 10
The following commands deny redistribution of all routes except routes for 10.10.10.x and
20.20.20.x.
NOTE
This example assumes that the highest RIP redistribution filter ID configured on the device is 64.
Changing the redistribution metric
When the Layer 3 Switch redistributes a route into RIP, the software assigns a RIP metric (cost) to
the route. By default, the software assigns a metric of 1 to each route that is redistributed into RIP.
You can increase the metric that the Layer 3 Switch assigns up to 15.
To change the RIP metric the Layer 3 Switch assigns to redistributed routes, enter a command such
as the following.
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#default-metric 10
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#deny redistribute 64 static address
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#permit redistribute 1 static address 10.10.10.0
255.255.255.0
PowerConnect(config-rip-router)#permit redistribute 2 static address 20.20.20.0
255.255.255.0
