Configuring interVRF route redistribution policies

Configure interVRF route redistribution so that a VRF interface can announce routes that other protocols learn, for example, OSPF, RIP, or BGP. Use a route policy to control the redistribution of routes.

Before you begin

Ensure VRF instances exist.
Configure route policies, if required.
Change the VRF instance as required.

Route Redistribution field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Route Redistribution tab.


Name	Description
DstVrfId	Specifies the destination VRF ID to use in the redistribution.
Protocol	Specifies the protocols for which you want to receive external routing information.
SrcVrfId	Specifies the source VRF ID to use in the redistribution.
RouteSource	Indicates if the protocol receives notification about the routes this source learns. The route source is equivalent to the owner in the routing table.
Enable	Enables or disables route redistribution. The default is disabled.
RoutePolicy	Specifies the route policies to apply to the redistributed routes from the source VRF. Use the route policy to determine whether the system advertises a specific route to the specified protocol.
Metric	Specifies the metric announced in advertisements. The default is 0.
MetricType	Specifies the metric type (applies to OSPF and BGP only). 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. The default is type2.
Subnets	Indicates that all the subnets must be advertised individually. The values are allow(1), and suppress(2). The default value is allow. This variable applies to OSPF only.
