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 AT-9724TS

switch is also redistributed.

Routing information source – OSPF and the Static Route table. Routing information will be redistributed to RIP.The following table lists the allowed values for

the routing metrics and the types (or forms) of the routing information that will be redistributed.

Route Source

OSPF

RIP

Local

Entering the Type combination – internal type_1 type_2 is functionally equivalent to all. Entering the combination type_1 type_2 is functionally equivalent to

external. 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

Description

A number from 1 to 255 used to identify the MD5 Key.

A alphanumeric string of between 1 and 16 case-sensitive characters used to generate the Message Digest

which is in turn, used to authenticate OSPF packets within the OSPF routing domain.
