redistribute rip [metric <value> | metric-type <type> | subnets]
Use the redistribute rip command to advertise routes from one protocol to another, regardless of the
routing protocol implemented on the routing domain. Using the rip keyword allows the propagation of RIP
routes into OSPF. Use the no form of this command to disable the propagation of the specified route type.
Syntax Description
metric <value> Optional. Specifies a metric value to be carried from one OSPF process to the
next (if no other value is specified).
metric-type <type> Optional. Specifies a type 1 or type 2 external route as the external link type. If not
specified, the default is 2.
subnets Optional. Specifies subnet redistribution when redistributing routes into OSPF.
Default Values
By default, this command is disabled.
Applicable Platforms
This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000R, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 and Total Access 900
Series units.
Command History
Release 3.1 Command was introduced.
Release 10.1 Subcommands were added.
Functional Notes
Redistributing RIP routes imports those routes into OSPF without the interfaces in question actually
participating in OSPF. The RIP routes imported this way are not covered by a network command and
therefore do not send/receive OSPF traffic.
Usage Examples
The following example imports RIP routes into OSPF:
(config)#router ospf
(config-ospf)#redistribute rip
