Chapter 19 OSPF Configuration

The routes that can be imported include Direct, Static, RIP, IS-IS, or BGP and in
addition, the routes of other OSPF processes.
Note:
z
It is recommended to configure the imported route type, cost and tag for the
import-route
command simultaneously. Otherwise, the later configuration will
overwrite the former configuration.
z
After you configured the
import-route
command on the OSPF router to import
external routing information, this OSPF router becomes an ASBR.
II. Configuring parameters for OSPF to import external routes
When the OSPF imports the routing information discovered by other routing protocols
in the autonomous system, some additional parameters need configuring, such as
default route cost and default tag of route distribution. Route tag can be used to identify
the protocol-related information. For example, OSPF can use it to identify the AS
number when receiving BGP.
Perform the following configuration in OSPF view.
