Command Reference Guide

Router (RIP) Configuration Command Set

redistribute connected [metric <value>]

Use the redistribute connected command to pass routes from one network to another, regardless of the

routing protocol implemented on the routing domain. Using the connected keyword allows the

propagation of routes connected to other interfaces using the RIP routing protocol. Use the no form of this

command to disable the propagation of the specified route type.

Syntax Description

connected Optional keyword that specifies the Secure Router OS to only propagate

connected routes to other networks

metric

<value>

Optional. Specifies the hop count to use for advertising redistributed OSPF routes

in RIP.

Default Values

By default, RIP is not enabled.

Command Modes

(config-rip)# Router (RIP or OSPF) Configuration Mode required

Functional Notes

Redistributing connected routes imports those routes into RIP without the interfaces in question actually

participating in RIP. The connected routes imported this way are not covered by a network command and

therefore do not send/receive RIP traffic.

Usage Examples

The following example passes the connected routes found in the route table to other networks running the

RIP routing protocol:

(config)#router rip

(config-rip)#redistribute connected
