Route Redistribution Settings - D-Link Xstack DGS-3600 Series User Manual

Route Redistribution Settings

Route redistribution allows routers on the network, which are running different routing protocols to exchange routing information.
This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various routers routing tables and assigning appropriate metrics. This
information is then exchanged among the various routers according to the individual routers current routing protocol. The Switch
can redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the network that are running
OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the Static Routing Table on the local xStack switch is also redistributed.
Entering the Type combination − internal type_1 type_2 is functionally equivalent to all. Entering the combination internal
external is functionally equivalent to all.
Entering the metric 0 specifies transparency.
This window will redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the network that
are running OSPF or RIP. To access the Route Redistribution Settings window, go to > L3 Features > Route Redistribution

Description
Allows for the selection of the protocol for the destination device. Choose between RIP and
OSPF.
Allows for the selection of the protocol for the source device. Choose between RIP, OSPF,
Static and Local.
Allows for the selection of one of six methods of calculating the metric value. The user may
choose between All, Internal, External, ExtType1, ExtType2, Inter-E1, Inter-E2.
Allows the entry of an OSPF interface cost. This is analogous to a Hop Count in the RIP
routing protocol. The user may specify a cost between 0 and 16.
NOTE: The source protocol (Src. Protocol) entry and the destination
protocol (Dst. Protocol) entry cannot be the same.
