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: .
- 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. |
