Redistributing Routes Discovered By Other Protocols (Asbrs) - HP ProCurve Secure Router 7203 dl Advanced Management And Configuration Manual

IP Routing—Configuring RIP, OSPF, BGP, and PBR
Configuring OSPF
The default reference bandwidth is 100 Mbps. Because the lowest cost is one,
a 1000 Mbps connection would be assigned the same cost as a 100 Mbps
connection. If your network uses various connections with a speed higher
than 100 Mbps, you should change the reference bandwidth so that the router
can take the lower cost of these links into account when computing best
routes.
To change the reference bandwidth, move to the OSPF interface configuration
mode context and enter this command:
Syntax: auto-cost reference-bandwidth <Mbps>
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-ospf)# auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000
The range for the rate is 1 to 4,294,967 Mbps. The default is 100.
Redistributing Routes Discovered by Other Protocols
(ASBRs)
Many networks use more than one routing protocol. Routing protocols dis-
cover routes in different ways. They provide overlapping, but not identical,
services. For example, OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that cannot
discover external routes. You can run several protocols on your ProCurve
Secure Router and redistribute routes from one protocol into the others.
To redistribute routes into OSPF, enter this command from the OSPF config-
uration mode context:
Syntax: redistribute [rip | connected | static] [metric <value>] [metric-type <input>]
[subnets]
You can use the optional metric keyword to specify the cost for the redistrib-
uted routes. If you do not enter a metric value, all redistributed routes take
the default metric 20.
By default, all routes redistributed into OSPF are considered to be external
routes. The value you enter for the metric-type determines whether the
routes are defined as E1 or E2.
The optional subnets keyword allows routes to networks subnetted from an
external classful network to be redistributed into OSPF.
