Configuring For Redistribution; Modifying Default Metric For Redistribution; Enabling Rip Route Redistribution - HP 2920 Series Multicast And Routing Manual

Configuring for redistribution

To configure for redistribution, define the redistribution tables with "restrict" redistribution filters.
In the CLI, use the restrict command for RIP at the RIP router level.
NOTE: Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution filters. Otherwise,
the network might become overloaded with routes that you did not intend to redistribute.
Example:
To configure the switch to filter out redistribution of static or connected routes on network 10.0.0.0,
enter the following commands:
HP Switch(config)# router rip
HP Switch(rip)# restrict 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
HP Switch(rip)# write memory
The default configuration permits redistribution for all default connected routes only.
Syntax:
restrict
This command prevents any routes with a destination address that is included in
the range specified by the address/mask pair from being redistributed by RIP.

Modifying default metric for redistribution

The default metric is a global parameter that specifies the cost applied to all RIP routes by default.
The default value is 1. You can assign a cost from 1 to 15.
Example:
To assign a default metric of 4 to all routes imported into RIP, enter the following commands:
HP Switch(config)# router rip
HP Switch(rip)# default-metric 4
Syntax:
default-metric <value>
The <value> can be from 1 to 15. The default is 1.

Enabling RIP route redistribution

The basic form of the redistribute command redistributes all routes of the selected type. For
finer control over route selection and modification of route properties, you can specify the
route-map parameter and the name of a route map.
NOTE: Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution filters. Otherwise,
the network might become overloaded with routes that you did not intend to redistribute.
Syntax:
[no] router rip redistribute
<name>]
Enables redistribution of the specified route type to the RIP domain.
static
connected
route-map <name>
<ip-addr> <ip-mask> | <ip-addr/<prefix length>
Redistribute from manually configured routes.
Redistribute from locally connected networks.
Optionally specify the name of a route-map to apply during redistribution.
