Configuring for redistribution

To configure for redistribution, define the redistribution tables with "restrict" redistribution filters. In the CLI, use the restrict command for RIP at the RIP router level.

Syntax:


restrict [ip-addr ip-mask | ip-addr prefix length]

This command prevents any routes with a destination address that is included in the range specified by the address/mask pair from being redistributed by RIP.

NOTE:

Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution filters. Otherwise, the network might become overloaded with routes that you did not intend to redistribute.

Example:

To configure the switch to filter out redistribution of static, connected, or OSPF routes on network 10.0.0.0, enter the following commands:

switch(config)# router rip
switch(rip)# restrict 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
switch(rip)# write memory

NOTE:

The default configuration permits redistribution for all default connected routes only.
