Configuring Route Redistribution to OSPFv3

Configure a redistribute entry to announce routes of a certain source protocol into the OSPFv3 domain. Optionally, use a route policy to control the redistribution of routes.

About this task

Important

Changing the OSPFv3 redistribute context is a process-oriented operation that can affect system performance and network reachability while you perform this procedure. As a best practice, change the default preferences for an OSPFv3 redistribute context, you must do so before you enable the protocols.

Before you begin

Enable OSPFv3 globally.
Ensure that a route policy exists if you intend to use a route policy.
Change the VRF instance as required to configure OSPFv3 on a specific VRF instance. The VRF must have an RP trigger of OSPFv3. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.

Procedure

In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > IPv6.
Click OSPFv3.
Click the Redistribute tab.
Click Insert.
Select an option for the route source.
Select the enable option button.
Select a route policy.
Configure the metric type.
Click Insert.

Redistribute Field Descriptions

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


Name	Description
DstVrfId	Specifies the destination virtual router forwarding 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) an OSPF redistribute entry for a specified source type.
RoutePolicy	Configures the route policy (by name) to use for detailed redistribution of external routes from a specified source into an OSPF domain. Click the ellipsis (...) button and choose from the list in the dialog box.
Metric	Configures the OSPF route redistribution metric for basic redistribution. The value can be a range from 0–65535. A value of 0 indicates to use the original cost of the route.
MetricType	Configures the OSPF route redistribution metric type. The default is type 2. The cost of a type 2 route is the external cost, regardless of the interior cost. A type 1 cost is the sum of both the internal and external costs.
