3.  Configure a 
preference for OSPF.

By default, the preference of OSPF 
internal routes is 10 and the preference 
of OSPF external routes is 150.
 
 
Configuring OSPF route redistribution 
On a router running OSPF and other routing protocols, you can configure OSPF to redistribute routes 
from other protocols, such as RIP, IS-IS, BGP, static, and direct, and advertise them in Type-5 LSAs or 
Type-7 LSAs. In addition, you can configure OSPF to filter redistributed routes so that OSPF advertises 
only permitted routes. 
 
 
IMPORTANT: 
The import-route bgp command redistributes only EBGP routes. Because the import-route bgp 
allow-ibgp command redistributes both EBGP and IBGP routes, and mi
ht cause routin
 loops, use it with
caution.

By default, no route redistribution 
is configured.  
This command redistributes only 
active routes. To view information 
about active routes, use the 
display ip routing-table protocol 
command.
 
4.  (Optional.) Configure 
OSPF to filter redistributed 
routes. 
filter-policy { acl-number | prefix-list 
ip-prefix-name } export [ protocol 
[ process-id ] ] 
By default, OSPF accepts all 
redistributed routes.  
 
Configuring OSPF to redistribute a default route 
The import-route command cannot redistribute a default external route. Perform this task to redistribute a 
default route.
