main route to send data. This process is the automatic switchover from the backup 
route to the main route. 
1.2.3  Routes Shared between Routing Protocols 
As the algorithms of various routing protocols are different, different routing protocols 
may discover different routes. This brings about the problem of how to share the 
discovered routes between routing protocols. The S5600 series can import (with the 
import-route command) the routes discovered by one routing protocol to another 
routing protocol. Each protocol has its own route redistribution mechanism. For detailed 
information, refer to the description of importing external route in routing protocol 
configuration of the following chapters.
