Router (RIP) Configuration Command Set

redistribute ospf [metric <value>]
Use the redistribute ospf command to advertise routes from one protocol to another, regardless of the
routing protocol implemented on the routing domain. Using the ospf keyword allows the propagation of
OSPF routes into RIP. Use the no form of this command to disable the propagation of the specified route
type.
Syntax Description
ospf Optional keyword that specifies the Secure Router OS to import OSPF routes into
RIP.
metric
<value> Optional. Specifies the hop count to use for advertising redistributed OSPF routes
in RIP.
Default Values
By default, this command is disabled.
Command Modes
(config-rip)# Router (RIP) Configuration Mode required
Functional Notes
Redistributing OSPF routes imports those routes into RIP without the interfaces in question actually
participating in RIP. The OSPF routes imported this way are not covered by a network command and
therefore do not send/receive RIP traffic.
If redistribute ospf is enabled and no metric value is specified, the value defaults to 0. The metric value
defined using the redistribute ospf metric command overrides the default-metric command’s metric
setting. See the section
default-metric <value> on page 896 for more information.
Usage Examples
The following example imports OSPF routes into RIP:
(config)#router rip
(config-rip)#redistribute ospf
