LABEL DESCRIPTION
Redistribute
Route
Route redistribution allows your Switch to import and translate external
routes learned through RIP routing protocol or configured manually
(Static) into the OSPF network transparently.
Active Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learned through
the selected protocol.
Type Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are
directly comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the
internal OSPF cost is added to the AB boundary router to the external
metrics.
Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable
to the OSPF cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router
is used in path decision to a destination.
Metric Value Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777215). The default metric value is
15.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
