route-redistribute (bgp-router-config)

Enables redistribution of routes learnt from other routing protocols into BGP.

Large ISP networks using multiple routing protocols, need to enable redistribution of routes across routing protocols. Routing protocols differ in their basic characteristics, such as metrics, administrative distance, classful and classless capabilities, etc. When enabling redistribution, these differences have to be taken into consideration.

Supported in the following platforms:

Syntax

route-redistribute [connected|kernel|ospf|static] {metric <0-4294967295>|route-map <ROUTE-MAP-NAME>}

Parameters

route-redistribute [connected|kernel|ospf|static] {metric <0-4294967295>|route-map <ROUTE-MAP-NAME>}
route-redistribute Redistributes routes learnt from other protocols
connected Redistributes directly connected routes
  • metric <0-4294967295> – Optional. Specify the metric for the redistributed routes. route-map
  • <ROUTE-MAP-NAME> – Optional. Specifies the route map name. The route map defines the match criteria based on which routes are filtered before redistribution. For more information on route maps, see match.
kernel Redistributes kernel routes. These are routes that are neither connected, nor static, nor dynamic.
  • metric <0-4294967295> – Optional. Specify the metric for the redistributed routes.
  • route-map <ROUTE-MAP-NAME> – Optional. Specifies the route map name. The route map defines the match criteria based on which routes are filtered before redistribution. For more information on route maps, see match.
ospf Redistributes OSPF routes
  • metric <0-4294967295> – Optional. Specify the metric for the redistributed routes.
  • route-map <ROUTE-MAP-NAME> – Optional. Specifies the route map name. The route map defines the match criteria based on which routes are filtered before redistribution. For more information on route maps, see match.
static Redistributes static routes
  • metric <0-4294967295> – Optional. Specify the metric for the redistributed routes.
  • route-map <ROUTE-MAP-NAME> – Optional. Specifies the route map name. The route map defines the match criteria based on which routes are filtered before redistribution. For more information on route maps, see match.
