Description:
The action of redistributing routes from one routing process to another. This might be from one protocol to a different one. The routes will be seen as external, and might be tagged or set to a specific metric and metric type to control the routing.
Complete Definition:
Be careful with double redistribution, especially at 2 different routers not to create loops due to routes re-re-distributed. Eg. Use tags.
Example:
router eigrp 7
net 168.0.0.0
redistribute rip route-map R2E
default-metric 1 1 1 1 1
router rip
version 2
net 172.0.0.0
redistribute eigrp 7 route-map E2R
default-metric 2
route-map R2E deny 10
match tag 88
route-map R2E permit 20
set tag 77
route-map E2R deny 10
match tag 77
route-map E2R permit 20
set tag 88
