Configuring route redistribution to RIP

Configure a redistribute entry to announce routes of a certain source protocol type into the RIP domain, for example, static, RIP, or direct. Use a route policy to control the redistribution of routes.

Before you begin

Enable RIP globally.
Configure a route policy.
Change the VRF instance as required to configure RIP on a specific VRF instance. The VRF must have an RP trigger of RIP. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.

About this task

Important

Changing the RIP redistribute context is a process-oriented operation that can affect system performance and network reachability while you perform the procedures. As a best practic, change default preferences for a RIP redistribute context, you must do so before you enable the protocols.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
Click RIP.
Click the Redistribute tab.
Click Insert.
Configure the source of the routes to redistribute.
Select enable.
Select the route policy to apply to redistributed routes.
Configure a metric value.
Click Insert.

Redistribute field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Redistribute tab.


Name	Description
DstVrfId	Specifies the destination VRF instance. You cannot configure this variable.
Protocol	Specifies the dynamic routing protocol that receives the external routing information.
SrcVrfId	Specifies the source VRF instance. You cannot configure this variable.
RouteSource	Specifies the route source protocol for the redistribution entry.
Enable	Enables (or disables) a RIP redistribute entry for a specified source type.
RoutePolicy	Configures the route policy (by name) that redistributes external routes from a specified source into an RIP domain. Click the ellipsis (...) button and choose from the list in the Route Policy dialog box.
Metric	Configures the RIP route redistribution metric for basic redistribution. The value can be in the range 0–65535. A value of 0 indicates to use the original cost of the route.
