Redistribute routes
In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the IS-IS 
process. With the 
redistribute command syntax, you can include BGP, OSPF, RIP, static, or directly 
connected routes in the IS-IS process.
IPv4 routes
Use any of the following commands in ROUTER ISIS mode to add routes from other routing instances or 
protocols.
Note: Do not route iBGP routes to IS-IS unless there are route-maps associated with the IS-IS 
redistribution.
Note: These commands apply to IPv4 IS-IS only. Use the ADDRESS-FAMILY IPV6 mode shown later to 
apply prefix lists to IPv6 routes.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
redistribute {bgp as-number | connected | rip | 
static} [level-1 level-1-2 | level-2] [metric 
metric-value] [metric-type {external | internal}] 
[route-map map-name]
ROUTER ISIS Include BGP, directly connected, RIP, or 
user-configured (static) routes in IS-IS. 
Configure the following parameters:
• level-1, level-1-2, or level-2: Assign 
all redistributed routes to a level. 
Default is level-2.
• metric range: 0 to 16777215. Default is 
0.
• metric-type: choose either external or 
internal. Default is internal.
• map-name: name of a configured route 
map.
redistribute ospf process-id [level-1| level-1-2 | 
level-2] [metric value] [match external {1 | 2} | match 
internal]
 [metric-type {external | internal}] 
[route-map map-name]
ROUTER ISIS Include specific OSPF routes in IS-IS. 
Configure the following parameters:
• process-id range: 1 to 65535
• level-1, level-1-2, or level-2:: Assign 
all redistributed routes to a level. 
Default is level-2.
• metric range: 0 to 16777215. Default is 
0.
• match external range: 1 or 2
• match internal 
• metric-type: external or internal.
• map-name: name of a configured route 
map.
