redistribute
This command imports external routing information from other routing
domains (i.e., protocols) into the autonomous system. Use the no form to
disable this feature.
Syntax
[no] redistribute [rip | static] [metric metric-value] [metric-type
type-value]
• rip - External routes will be imported from the Routing Information
Protocol into this Autonomous System.
• static - Static routes will be imported into this Autonomous System.
• metric-value - Metric assigned to all external routes for the specified
protocol. (Range: 1-65535: Default: 10)
•type-value
• 1 - Type 1 external route
• 2 - Type 2 external route (default) - Routers do not add internal
route metric to external route metric.

Default Setting
• redistribution - none
• protocol - RIP and static
• metric-value - 0
• type-metric - 2
Command Usage
• This router supports redistribution for both RIP and static routes.
• When you redistribute external routes into an OSPF autonomous system
(AS), the router automatically becomes an autonomous system boundary
router (ASBR). If the redistribute command is used in conjunction with
the default-information originate command to generate a “default”
external route into the AS, the metric value specified in this command
supersedes the metric specified in the default-information originate
command.
