Configure 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 .
- Select RIP.
- Select the Redistribute tab.
- Select Insert.
- Configure the source of the routes to redistribute.
- Select enable.
- Select the route policy to apply to redistributed routes.
- Configure a metric value.
- Select 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. Select the ellipsis (...) 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. |
