Configuring OSPF
Enable Route Redistribution
Not e Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution
“restrict” filters. Otherwise, the network might get overloaded with routes that
you did not intend to redistribute.
To enable redistribution of connected and static IP routes into OSPF, enter
the following commands.
HPswitch(config)# router ospf
HPswitch(ospf)# redistribution connected
HPswitch(ospf)# redistribution static
HPswitch(ospf)# write memory
Syntax: [no] redistribution connected | static
Modify Redistribution Metric Type
The redistribution metric type is used by default for all routes imported into
OSPF. Type 1 metrics are the same “units” as internal OSPF metrics and can
be compared directly. Type 2 metrics are not directly comparable, and are
treated as larger than the largest internal OSPF metric. The default value is
type 2.
To modify the default value to type 1, enter the following command:
HPswitch(config-ospf-router)# metric-type type1
Syntax: metric-type type1 | type2
The default is type2.
Administrative Distance
HP Series 5300XL Switches can learn about networks from various protocols,
including RIP, and OSPF. Consequently, the routes to a network may differ
depending on the protocol from which the routes were learned. For the Series
5300XL Switches, the administrative distance for OSPF routes is set at 110.
The Series 5300XL Switch selects one route over another based on the source
of the route information. To do so, the Series 5300XL Switch can use the
administrative distances assigned to the sources.
