Configuring Route Redistribution

Overview

Route redistribution makes it possible for different IP routing protocols to exchange routing information. To configure route redistribution, you create route redistribution entries that control the distribution of static, local, or dynamically learned routes from one protocol to another protocol. Route redistribution is supported only by dynamic routing protocols, such as RIP and OSPF.

When creating route redistribution entries, you set a source protocol and destination protocol. The source protocol is the protocol whose routes are redistributed, and the destination protocol is the protocol to which the routes are redistributed. You can set the entry to redistribute either all routes or specific routes. If you want to redistribute only specific routes, you must set up an access list to either permit or deny specific routes for redistribution. For more information about access lists, see Configuring Access Lists.

Note: Avaya recommends that you do not globally enable an access list that you use to redistribute specific routes.

Note: Route redistribution supports only standard access rules. You cannot use extended access rules to permit or deny specific routes for redistribution.

Table�68 shows the source and destination protocols between which you can set up route redistribution filters.
