Configuring RIP
NOTE
The default redistribution action is permit, even after you configure and apply a permit or deny
filter. To deny redistribution of specific routes, you must configure a deny filter.
NOTE
The option to set the metric is not applicable to static routes.
2. Enable redistribution.
NOTE
If you plan to configure redistribution filters, do not enable redistribution until you have
configured the filters.
When you enable redistribution, all types of routes are redistributed into RIP; redistribution is
not limited to IP static routes. If you want to deny certain routes from being redistributed into
RIP, configure deny filters for those routes before you enable redistribution. You can configure
up to 64 RIP redistribution filters. They are applied in ascending numerical order.
NOTE
The default redistribution action is permit, even after you configure and apply redistribution
filters to the port. If you want to tightly control redistribution, apply a filter to deny all routes as
the last filter (filter ID 64), and then apply filters with lower filter IDs to allow specific routes.
