Redistributing Routes
You can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the OSPFv3 process.
With the redistribute command, you can include RIP, static, or directly connected routes in the OSPF
process. Route redistribution is also supported between OSPF Routing process IDs.
To add redistributing routes, use the following command.
• Specify which routes are redistributed into the OSPF process.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
redistribute {bgp | connected | static} [metric metric-value | metric-type type-
value] [route-map map-name] [tag tag-value]
Configure the following required and optional parameters:
• bgp | connected | static: enter one of the keywords to redistribute those routes.
• metric metric-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
• metric-type metric-type: enter 1 for OSPFv3 external route type 1 OR 2 for OSPFv3 external
route type 2.
• route-map map-name: enter a name of a configured route map.
• tag tag-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
Configuring a Default Route
To generate a default external route into the OSPFv3 routing domain, configure the Dell Networking OS.
To specify the information for the default route, use the following command.
• Specify the information for the default route.
CONF-IPV6-ROUTER-OSPF mode
default-information originate [always [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-
value]] [route-map map-name]
Configure the following required and optional parameters:
• always: indicate that default route information is always advertised.
• metric metric-value: The range is from 0 to 4294967295.
• metric-type metric-type: enter 1 for OSPFv3 external route type 1 OR 2 for OSPFv3 external
route type 2.
• route-map map-name: enter a name of a configured route map.
