Modifying The Default Metric For Redistribution; Enabling Route Redistribution - Dell PowerConnect B-FCXs Configuration Manual

Because this ACL is input to an OSPF distribution list, the <destination-ip> parameter actually
specifies the subnet mask of the route.
The <wildcard> parameter specifies the portion of the subnet mask to match against. For
example, the <destination-ip> and <wildcard> values 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.255 mean that
subnet mask /24 and longer match the ACL.
If you want the policy to match on all network masks, enter any any.

Modifying the default metric for redistribution

The default metric is a global parameter that specifies the cost applied to all OSPF routes by
default. The default value is 10. You can assign a cost from 1 through 15.
NOTE
You also can define the cost on individual interfaces. The interface cost overrides the default cost.
To assign a default metric of 4 to all routes imported into OSPF, enter the following commands.
PowerConnect(config)#router ospf
PowerConnect(config-ospf-router)#default-metric 4
Syntax: default-metric <value>
The <value> can be from 1 through 16,777,215. The default is 10.

Enabling route redistribution

To enable route redistribution, use one of the following methods.
NOTE
Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution filters. Otherwise, you might
accidentally overload the network with routes you did not intend to redistribute.
To enable redistribution of RIP and static IP routes into OSPF, enter the following commands.
PowerConnect(config)#router ospf
PowerConnect(config-ospf-router)#redistribution rip
PowerConnect(config-ospf-router)#redistribution static
PowerConnect(config-ospf-router)#write memory
Example using a route map
To configure a route map and use it for redistribution of routes into OSPF, enter commands such as
the following.
