Configuring BGP route redistribution
SteelHead SD includes BGP options to globally configure:
• redistribution of OSPF routes into BGP.
• redistribution of static routes into BGP.
• redistribution of overlay routes into BGP.
• redistribution of traffic using the route map with the use case for static and connected route
injection in BGP.
Important: We recommend you define route policies, AS lists, and prefix lists before you configure BGP route
redistribution. For details on configuring routing policies, see “Creating routing IPv4 prefix lists” on page 72 .
In SteelConnect 2.12, you can differentiate between static and overlay routes. Previously, there was no
differentiation between overlay and static routes. To avoid this ambiguity, you can configure the Overlay
to BGP option to distinguish overlay routes from static routes. The policies applied on redistribution of
other routes are also applicable on overlay routes
To configure BGP route redistribution
1. Choose Appliances and select the appliance to expand the pane.
2. Select the BGP tab.
