Redistributing IGP routes

Perform this task to configure route redistribution from an IGP to BGP.

By default, BGP does not redistribute default IGP routes. You can use the default-route imported command to redistribute default IGP routes into the BGP routing table.

Only active routes can be redistributed. To view route state information, use the display ip routing-table protocol or display ipv6 routing-table protocol command.

The ORIGIN attribute of BGP routes redistributed from IGPs is INCOMPLETE.

To configure BGP to redistribute IGP routes (IPv4):

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN instance view.

  • Enter BGP view:bgp as-number

  • Enter BGP-VPN instance view:

    1. bgp as-number

    2. ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

N/A

3. Enter BGP IPv4 unicast address family view or BGP-VPN IPv4 unicast address family view.

address-family ipv4 [ unicast ]

N/A

4. Enable route redistribution from the specified IGP into BGP.

import-route protocol [ { process-id | all-processes } [ allow-direct | med med-value | route-policy route-policy-name ] * ]

By default, BGP does not redistribute IGP routes.

5. (Optional.) Enable default route redistribution into BGP.
