LABEL DESCRIPTION
Redistribute
Route
Route redistribution allows your Switch to import and translate external routes learned through
RIP routing protocol or configured manually (Static) into the OSPF network transparently.
Active Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learned through the selected
protocol.
Type Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are directly comparable to
the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the internal OSPF cost is added to the AB
boundary router to the external metrics.
Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable to the OSPF cost. In this
case, the external cost of the AB boundary router is used in path decision to a destination.
Metric Value Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777215). The default metric value is 15.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Summary
address
Enter a network IP address which can cover more than one network in order to reduce the
routing table size. For example, you can use 192.168.8.0/22 instead of using 192.168.8.0/24,
192.168.9.0/24, 192.168.10.0/24, and 192.168.11.0/24.
The third octet of these four network IP addresses is 00001000, 00001001, 00001010, 00001011
respectively. The first 6 digits (000010) are the common part among these IP addresses. So
192.168.8.0/22 can represent all of these networks.
Subnet mask Enter the subnet mask for this summary IP address which can cover multiple networks.
Add Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
