Configuring RIP redistribution

You can configure the routing switch to redistribute connected, static, and OSPF routes into RIP. When you redistribute a route into RIP, the routing switch can use RIP to advertise the route to its RIP neighbors.

To configure redistribution, perform the following tasks:

  1. Configure redistribution filters to permit or deny redistribution for a route based on the destination network address or interface. (optional)

  2. Enable redistribution.

Defining RIP redistribution filters

Route redistribution imports and translates different protocol routes into a specified protocol type. On the switches, redistribution is supported for static routes, directly connected routes, and OSPF routes. Redistribution of any other routing protocol into RIP is not currently supported. When you configure redistribution for RIP, you can specify that static, connected, or OSPF routes are imported into RIP routes. Likewise, OSPF redistribution supports the import of static, connected, or RIP routes into OSPF routes.
