Chapter 29 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to control route redistribution. Note that the
keywords are the same as defined in the previous procedure.
To disable redistribution, use the no form of the commands.
The metrics of one routing protocol do not necessarily translate into the metrics of another. In these
situations, an artificial metric is assigned to the redistributed route. Uncontrolled exchanging of routing
information between different routing protocols can create routing loops and seriously degrade network
operation.
If you have not defined a default redistribution metric that replaces metric conversion, some automatic
metric translations occur between routing protocols:
•
RIP can automatically redistribute static routes. It assigns static routes a metric of 1 (directly
connected).
•
Any protocol can redistribute other routing protocols if a default mode is in effect.
Filtering Routing Information
You can filter routing protocol information by performing the tasks described in this section.
Note
When routes are redistributed between OSPF processes, no OSPF metrics are preserved.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
router {bgp | rip | ospf | eigrp}
Enter router configuration mode.
Step 3
redistribute protocol [process-id] {level-1 | level-1-2 |
level-2} [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value]
[match internal | external type-value] [tag tag-value]
[route-map map-tag] [weight weight] [subnets]
Redistribute routes from one routing protocol to
another routing protocol. If no route-maps are
specified, all routes are redistributed. If the keyword
route-map is specified with no map-tag, no routes are
distributed.
Step 4
default-metric number
Cause the current routing protocol to use the same
metric value for all redistributed routes (BGP, RIP and
OSPF).
Step 5
default-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
Cause the EIGRP routing protocol to use the same
metric value for all non-EIGRP redistributed routes.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show route-map
Display all route maps configured or only the one
specified to verify configuration.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
