other protocols.

undo import-route protocol
Parameters protocol

redistributed by RIP. At present, RIP can redistribute the
following routes: direct, ospf, ospf-ase, ospf-nssa,
static, and bgp and isis.
allow-ibgp
Optional when the protocol argument is set to BGP.
Whereas the import-route bgp command redistributes
only EBGP routes, the import-route bgp allow-ibgp
command redistributes IBGP routes in addition and as
such, must be used with cautions.

are 1 to 16.
