Route Redistribution Settings - D-Link DES-6500 - Switch 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 DES-6500 chassis 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.
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 access the Route Redistribution Settings window, go to Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking

The following parameters may be set or viewed:
Parameter Description
Dst. Protocol Allows for the selection of the protocol for the destination device. Choose between RIP and OSPF.
Src. Protocol Allows for the selection of the protocol for the source device. Choose between RIP, OSPF, Static
and Local.
Type 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. See the table above for
available metric value types for each source protocol.
Metric 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.
