Command Reference Guide

Router (OSPF) Configuration Command Set

redistribute rip

Use the redistribute rip command to advertise routes from one protocol to another, regardless of the

routing protocol implemented on the routing domain. Using the rip keyword allows the propagation of RIP

routes into OSPF. Use the no form of this command to disable the propagation of the specified route type.

Syntax Description

rip Optional keyword that specifies the Secure Router OS to import RIP routes into

OSPF.

Default Values

By default, this command is disabled.

Command Modes

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

Functional Notes

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

participating in OSPF. The RIP 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 RIP routes into OSPF:

(config)#router ospf

(config-ospf)#redistribute rip
