Command Reference Guide

Router (OSPF) Configuration Command Set

redistribute connected

Use the redistribute connected command to advertise routes from one protocol to another. Using the

connected keyword allows the advertisement of connected routes into the OSPF routing protocol. This

will advertise all connected routes on OSPF-enabled interfaces. It does not enable OSPF on all interfaces.

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 advertise connected

routes to OSPF areas.

Default Values

By default, this command is disabled.

Command Modes

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

Functional Notes

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

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

and therefore do not send/receive OSPF traffic.

Usage Examples

The following example imports connected routes into OSPF:

(config)#router ospf

(config-ospf)#redistribute connected
