Configuring OSPF

The redistribute static command enables redistribution of static IP routes into OSPF, and uses

route map "abc"to control the routes that are redistributed. In this example, the route map allows a

static IP route to be redistributed into OSPF only if the route has a metric of 5, and changes the

metric to 8 before placing the route into the OSPF route table.

The following command shows the result of the redistribution. Since only one of the static IP routes

configured above matches the route map, only one route is redistributed. Notice that the route's

metric is 5 before redistribution but is 8 after redistribution.

The bgp | connected | rip | isis | static parameter specifies the route source.

The route-map <map-name> parameter specifies the route map name. The following match

parameters are valid for OSPF redistribution.

The following set parameters are valid for OSPF redistribution:

You must configure the route map before you configure a redistribution that uses the route map.

When you use a route map for route redistribution, the software disregards the permit or deny action

of the route map.

For an external route that is redistributed into OSPF through a route map, the metric value of the

route remains the same unless the metric is set by a set metric command inside the route map. The

default-metric <num> command has no effect on the route. This behavior is different from a route

that is redistributed without using a route map. For a route redistributed without using a route map,

the metric is set by the default-metric <num> command.

Disable or re-enable load sharing

The device can load share among up to eight equal-cost IP routes to a destination. By default, IP

load sharing is enabled. The default is 4 equal-cost paths but you can specify from 2 – 8 paths.
