To redistribute routes from one routing domain into another routing domain, use the redistribute router configuration command. To disable redistribution, use the no form of this command.

protocol Source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. It can be one of the following keywords: bgp, egp, igrp, isis, ospf, static [ip], connected and rip.

The keyword static [ip] is used to redistribute IP static routes. The optional ip keyword is used when redistributing into IS-IS.

The keyword connected refers to routes which are established automatically by virtue of having enabled IP on an interface. For routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS, these routes will be redistributed as external to the autonomous system.

process-id (Optional) For bgp, egp, or igrp, this is an autonomous system number, which is a 16-bit decimal number.
For isis, this is an optional tag that defines a meaningful name for a routing process. You can specify only one IS-IS process per router. Creating a name for a routing process means that you use names when configuring routing.
For ospf, this is an appropriate OSPF process ID from which routes are to be redistributed. This identifies the routing process. This value takes the form of a nonzero decimal number.
For rip, no process-id value is needed.
level-1 For IS-IS, Level 1 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.
level-1-2 For IS-IS, both Level 1 and Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols.
level-2 For IS-IS, Level 2 routes are redistributed into other IP routing protocols independently.
metric
m
etric-value
(Optional) Metric used for the redistributed route. If a value is not specified for this option, and no value is specified using the default-metric router configuration command, the default metric value is 0. Use a value consistent with the destination protocol.
metric-type type-value (Optional) For OSPF, the external link type associated with the default route advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of two values:

1--Type 1 external route

2--Type 2 external route

If a metric-type is not specified, the router adopts a Type 2 external route.

For IS-IS, it can be one of two values:

internal--IS-IS metric which is < 63.

external--IS-IS metric which is > 64 < 128.

The default is internal.

match {internal | external 1 | external 2} (Optional) For OSPF, the criteria by which OSPF routes are redistributed into other routing domains. It an be one of the following:

internal--Routes that are internal to a specific autonomous system.

external 1--Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as type 1 external route.

external 2--Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as type 2 external route.

tag tag-value (Optional) 32-bit decimal value attached to each external route. This is not used by the OSPF protocol itself. It may be used to communicate information between Autonomous System Boundary Routers. If none is specified, then the remote autonomous system number is used for routes from BGP and EGP; for other protocols, zero (0) is used.
route-map (Optional) Route map should be interrogated to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. If not specified, all routes are redistributed. If this keyword is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes will be imported.
map-tag (Optional) Identifier of a configured route map.

subnets (Optional) For redistributing routes into OSPF, the scope of redistribution for the specified protocol.

map-tag Defines a meaningful name for the route map. The redistribute router configuration command uses this name to reference this route map. Multiple route maps may share the same map tag name.
permit (Optional) If the match criteria are met for this route map, and permit is specified, the route is redistributed as controlled by the set actions. In the case of policy routing, the packet is policy routed.

If the match criteria are not met, and permit is specified, the next route map with the same map-tag is tested. If a route passes none of the match criteria for the set of route maps sharing the same name, it is not redistributed by that set.

deny (Optional) If the match criteria are met for the route map, and deny is specified, the route is not redistributed or in the case of policy routing, the packet is not policy routed, and no further route maps sharing the same map tag name will be examined. If the packet is not policy routed, it reverts to the normal forwarding algorithm.

no timers basic

To adjust EGP, RIP, or IGRP network timers, use the timers basic router configuration command. To restore the default timers, use the no form of this command.

update Rate in seconds at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the routing protocol.
invalid Interval of time in seconds after which a route is declared invalid; it should be three times the value of update. A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The route then enters holddown. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets.
holddown Interval in seconds during which routing information regarding better paths is suppressed. It should be at least three times the value of update. A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets. When holddown expires, routes advertised by other sources are accepted and the route is no longer inaccessible.
flush Amount of time in seconds that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table; the interval specified must be at least the sum of invalid and holddown. If it is less than this sum, the proper holddown interval cannot elapse, which results in a new route being accepted before the holddown interval expires.
sleeptime (Optional) For IGRP only, interval in milliseconds for postponing routing updates in the event of a flash update. The sleeptime value should be less than the update time. If the sleeptime is greater than the update time, routing tables will become unsynchronized.

spf-holdtime Minimum time, in seconds, between two consecutive SPF calculations. It can be an integer from 0 to 65535. The default time is 10 seconds. A value of 0 means that there is no delay; that is, two consecutive SPF calculations can be done one immediately after the other.
