IP Routing Features 
Configuring OSPF 
Note  Do not enable redistribution until you have configured the redistribution 
filters. Otherwise, the network might get overloaded with routes that you did 
not intend to redistribute. 
Example:  To configure the switch acting as an ASBR to filter out redistribu-
tion of static or connected routes on network 10.0.0.0, enter the following 
commands: 
HPswitchASBR(config)# router ospf 
HPswitch(ospf)# restrict 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 
HPswitch(ospf)# write memory 
Note  Redistribution is permitted for all routes by default. 
Syntax:  restrict < ip-addr > < ip-mask > | < ip-addr/< prefix length > 
This command prevents any routes with a destination address that is included 
in the range specified by the address/mask pair from being redistributed by 
OSPF. 
Modifying 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 
– 16,777,215. 
Example:  To assign a default metric of 4 to all routes imported into OSPF, 
enter the following commands: 
HPswitch(config)# router ospf 
HPswitch(ospf)# default-metric 4 
Syntax:  default-metric < value > 
The < value > can be from 1 – 16,777,215. The default is 10.
