Redistribution of Routes into RIP

When you redistribute routes from another protocol into RIP, the device can use RIP to advertise the routes to its RIP neighbors.

Redistribution Filters

You can configure filters to permit or deny redistribution for a route based on its origin (for example, OSPF or BGP4), the destination network address, or the route’s metric. You can also configure a filter to set the route metric based on these criteria.

Default Redistribution Metric

When the device redistributes a route into RIP, the software assigns a RIP metric (cost) to the route. By default, the software assigns a metric of 1 to each route that is redistributed into RIP. You can set the metric to a value from 1 through 15.
