Parameters protocol
Specifies the source routing protocol that can be
redistributed. At present, it includes direct, rip, bgp,
isis, static, ospf, ospf-ase, and ospf-nssa.
ospf process-id

process-id as external routing information. If no
process number is specified, the OSPF default process
number 1 is used.
ospf-ase process-id

OSPF process-id as external routing information. If
no process number is specified, the OSPF default
process number 1 is used.
ospf-nssa process-id
Redistributes only the NSSA external routes found by
OSPF process-id as external routing information. If
no process number is specified, the OSPF default
process number 1 is used.
allow-ibgp
Optional when the protocol argument is set to BGP.

only EBGP routes, the import-route bgp allow-ibgp
command redistributes IBGP routes in addition and as
such, must be used with cautions.
cost value
Cost of the redistributed routes.
type value
Type of the routes to be redistributed by OSPF. value
takes 1 or 2; type 1 represents class 1 external routes,
and type 2 (default) represents class 2 external routes.
