redistribute
Redistribute routes into BGP.
Syntax
redistribute {connected | static} [route-map map-name]
To disable redistribution, use the no redistribution {connected | static} command.
Parameters
connected Enter the keyword connected to redistribute routes from physically connected
interfaces.
static
Enter the keyword static to redistribute manually configured routes.
These routes are treated as incomplete routes.
route-map map-
name
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword route-map then the name of an established
route map.
Only the following ROUTE-MAP mode commands are supported:
● match ip address
● set metric
● set tag

History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
With the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0 and later, you can use the redistribute command to
advertise the IGP cost as the MED on redistributed routes. When you set the route-map with metric-type
internal and applied outbound to an EBGP peer/peer-group, the advertised routes corresponding to those
peer/peer-groups have the IGP cost set as MED.
If you do not configure the default-metric command, in addition to the redistribute command,
or there is no route map to set the metric, the metric for redistributed static and connected is “0”.
To redistribute the default route (0.0.0.0/0), configure the neighbor default-originate
command.

Syntax
redistribute ospf process-id [[match external {1 | 2}] [match internal]]
[route-map map-name]
To stop redistribution of OSPF routes, use the no redistribute ospf process-id command.
Parameters
process-id Enter the number of the OSPF process. The range is from 1 to 65535.
