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.
Because redistributed routes are external, you cannot redistribute routes on
a stub router. When you redistribute any routes, even connected ones, into
OSPF, the router is automatically considered an ASBR.

Redistributing RIP Routes

When a ProCurve Secure Router connects an OSPF network to an external
network, it acts as an ASBR. Such a router often needs to redistribute external
routes into the network. You can have the ASBR generate a default route or
route summaries for external routes as described in "Generating a Default
External Route (ASBR)" on page 15-54. This option keeps overhead at a
minimum.
