OSPFv3 route redistribution

Routes from various sources can be redistributed into OSPFv3. These routes can be redistributed in a number of ways.

You can configure the device to redistribute routes from the following sources into OSPFv3:

  • IPv6 static routes
  • Directly connected IPv6 networks
  • BGP4+
  • RIPng

You can redistribute routes in the following ways:

  • By route types. For example, the device redistributes all IPv6 static routes.
  • By using a route map to filter which routes to redistribute. For example, the device redistributes specified IPv6 static routes only.
Note: You must configure the route map before you configure a redistribution filter that uses the route map.
Note: For an external route that is redistributed into OSPFv3 through a route map, the metric value of the route remains the same unless the metric is set by the set metric command inside the route map or the default-metric command. For a route redistributed without using a route map, the metric is set by the metric parameter if set or the default-metric command if the metric parameter is not set.

  1. Redistributing routes into OSPFv3
    OSPFv3 routes can be redistributed, and the routes to be redistributed can be specified.
