Layer 3 Routing Commands 1339
The RIP metric is a hop count. The metric for a redistributed route limits the
distance the route can be redistributed in the RIP network. Since the
maximum valid metric in a RIP network is 15, redistributing routes into RIP
with a metric of 12 implies that the route can only be redistributed across 3
hops in the RIP network.
In conformance with RFC 1475, information learned via BGP from peers
within the same AS is not redistributed to OSPF.
In general, redistributing routes from BGP into a RIP network is not
recommended.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
Example
console(config-router)#redistribute rip
redistribute (BGP IPv6)
In IPv6 address family configuration node, the redistribute command
configures BGP to redistribute non-BGP originated routes from the IPv6
routing table.
Syntax
redistribute { ospf [match {[internal][external 1] [external 2] [nssa-external
1] [nssa-external 2]} ] | rip | connected | static} [metric metric-value]
[route-map map-tag]
no redistribute { ospf [match {[internal][external 1] [external 2] [nssa-
external 1] [nssa-external 2]} ] | rip | connected | static} [metric metric-
value] [route-map map-tag]
• ospf, rip, connected, static—A source of routes to redistribute.
• metric metric-value—(Optional) When this option is specified, BGP
advertises the prefix with the Multi Exit Discriminator path attribute set
to the configured value. If this option is not specified, but a default metric
is configured for BGP (default metric command), the MED is set to the
default metric. If both a default metric and a metric value are not
configured, the prefix is advertised without a MED attribute.
