Core Issue
If the routes to be redistributed are subnetworks of major networks, the subnets keyword is necessary to redistribute routes into Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
Another possible cause for routes not being redistributed is the use of filters with the redistribute configuration command. These filters do not permit the routes in question.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, perform these steps:
- Ensure that the subnets keyword is used with the redistribute command to redistribute subnetworks.
- Ensure that any filters used with the redistribute command allow for the advertisement of the routes in question.
If the route to be redistributed is a default route, then other options need to be taken into consideration.
