Configuring route redistribution to OSPF

Configure a redistribute entry to announce certain routes into the OSPF domain, including DvR host routes, static routes, direct routes, Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routes, OSPF routes, IS-IS routes or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes. Optionally, use a route policy to control the redistribution of routes.

Before you begin

Enable OSPF globally.
Ensure that a route policy exists.
Ensure that you set OSPF as the boundary router.

Note

The route policies treat permit and deny rules differently for inbound and outbound traffic.

For an in-policy (RIP, BGP) or an accept policy (OSPF) using a route-map, if a particular route is not explicitly denied in the accept policy or in-policy with the route-map, then the route is implicitly allowed.
For an out-policy (RIP, BGP) or a redistribute policy (RIP, OSPF, BGP) using a route-map, even if a particular route is not explicitly allowed in the redistribution policy or out-policy with the route-map, then the route is implicitly denied.
In order to permit or deny only explicit routes, configure a policy with additional sequences, where, the last sequence permits all routes that are not explicitly permitted or denied.

Procedure

Enter OSPF Router Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

router ospf
Create the redistribution instance:

redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|ospf|rip|static|dvr> [vrf-src WORD<1-16>]
Apply a route policy if required:

redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|ospf|rip|static|dvr> route-map WORD<0-64> [vrf-src WORD<1-16>]
Configure other parameters, as required.
Enable the redistribution.

redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|ospf|rip|static|dvr> enable [vrf-src WORD<1-16>]
Ensure that the configuration is correct:

show ip ospf redistribute [vrf WORD<1-16>] [vrfids WORD<0-512>]
Exit to Global Configuration mode:

exit
Apply the redistribution.

ip ospf apply redistribute <bgp|direct|isis|ospf|rip|static|dvr> [vrf WORD<1-16>] [vrf-src WORD<1-16>]

Changes do not take effect until you apply them.
View all routes (including DvR host routes) that are redistributed into OSPF:
1. View the routes that are redistributed from the GRT to OSPF:
  
  show ip ospf lsdb
2. View the routes that are redistributed to OSPF for a specific VRF instance:
  
  show ip ospf lsdb [vrf WORD<1–64>] [vrfids WORD<0–512>]

Example

Example 1:

Redistribute static routes from the GRT to OSPF.

Create the redistribution instance, apply a route policy, enable redistribution, and apply the redistribution.

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#router ospf
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute static

WARNING: Routes will not be injected until apply command is issued after enable command
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute static route-map policy1             
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute static enable 
Switch:1(config-ospf)#exit
Switch:1(config)#ip ospf apply redistribute static 
Switch:1(config)#show ip ospf redistribute

Example 2:

Redistribute DvR host routes from the GRT to OSPF:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#router ospf
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute dvr
Switch:1(config-ospf)#redistribute dvr enable
Switch:1(config-ospf)#exit
Switch:1(config)#ip ospf apply redistribute dvr 
Switch:1(config)#show ip ospf redistribute

Example 3:

Redistribute DvR host routes to OSPF for a specific VRF vrf1:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#router vrf vrf1
Switch:1(router-vrf)#ip ospf redistribute dvr
Switch:1(router-vrf)#ip ospf redistribute dvr enable
Switch:1(router-vrf)#exit
Switch:1(config)#ip ospf apply redistribute dvr vrf vrf1

View the DvR host routes that are distributed into OSPF:

Switch:1(config)#show ip ospf lsdb vrf vrf1

Variable definitions

The following table defines parameters for the redistribute command.


Variable	Value
enable	Enables the OSPF route redistribution instance.
metric `<0–65535>`	Configures the metric to apply to redistributed routes.
metric-type `<type1\|type2>`	Specifies a type 1 or a type 2 metric. For metric type 1, the cost of the external routes is equal to the sum of all internal costs and the external cost. For metric type 2, the cost of the external routes is equal to the external cost alone.
route-map `WORD<0-64>`	Configures the route policy to apply to redistributed routes.
subnets <allow\|suppress>	Allows or suppresses external subnet route advertisements when routes are redistributed into an OSPF domain.
vrf-src `WORD<1-16>`	Specifies the optional source VRF instance. You can use this variable with the other command variables.
`<bgp\|direct\|isis\|ospf\|rip\|static\|dvr>`	Specifies the type of routes to redistribute (the protocol source). Valid options are bgp, isis, direct, rip, ospf, dvr or static.

The following table defines parameters for the ip ospf apply redistribute command.


Variable	Value
vrf `WORD<1-16>`	Specifies the VRF instance.
vrf-src `WORD<1-16>`	Specifies the source VRF instance. You do not need to configure this parameter for redistribution within the same VRF.
`WORD<0–32>`	Specifies the type of routes to redistribute (the protocol source). Valid options are bgp, isis, direct, rip, ospf, or static.
