Configure EIGRP Redistribution Settings

You can define the rules for redistributing routes from other routing protocols to the EIGRP routing process.

Procedure

Step 1

On the EIGRP page, click the Redistribution tab.

Step 2

Click Add (add icon).

Step 3

In the Add Redistribution dialog box, from the Protocol drop-down, choose the source protocol from which the routes are being redistributed:

  • BGP—Redistributes routes discovered by the BGP routing process to EIGRP.

  • RIP—Redistributes routes discovered by the RIP routing process to EIGRP.

  • Static—Redistributes static routes to the EIGRP routing process. Static routes that fall within the scope of a network statement are automatically redistributed to EIGRP; you do not need to define a redistribution rule for them. However, when redistributing static routes that point to VTI interfaces in EIGRP, you must specify the metric. For static routes pointing to other types of interfaces, specifying the metric is not required.

  • Connected—Redistributes connected routes (routes established automatically by virtue of having IP address enabled on the interface) to the EIGRP routing process. Connected routes that fall within the scope of a network statement are automatically redistributed to EIGRP; you do not need to define a redistribution rule for them.

  • OSPF—Redistributes routes discovered by the OSPF routing process to EIGRP. If you choose this protocol, the Match options on this dialog box become available under Optional OSPF Redistribution:

    • Internal—Routes that are internal to a specific AS.

    • External1—Routes that are external to the AS and imported into OSPF as a Type 1 external route.

    • External2—Routes that are external to the AS and imported into the selected process as a Type 2 external route.

    • Nsaa-External1—Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) routes that are external to the AS and imported into the selected process as Type 1 external routes.

    • Nsaa-External2—(NSSA) routes that are external to the AS and imported into the selected process as Type 2 external routes.

    Note

    These options are not available when redistributing static, connected, RIP, or BGP routes.

Step 4

Under Optional Metrics enter the relevant values:

  • Bandwidth—The minimum bandwidth of the route in kilobits per second. Valid values range from 1 to 4294967295.

  • Delay Time—The routing delay in tens of microseconds. Valid values range from 0 to 4294967295.

  • Reliability —The likelihood of successful packet transmission is expressed as a number 0 through 255. The value 255 indicates 100 percent reliability; 0 means no reliability.

  • Loading— The effective bandwidth of the route. Valid values range from 1 to 255. 255 indicates 100 percent loading.

  • MTU—The smallest permissible value for the maximum transmission unit of the path. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.

Step 5

From the Route Map drop-down, choose the route map object to apply to the redistribution entry. To create a new route map object, click Add (add icon). See Configure Route Map Entry for the procedure to add a new route map.

Step 6

Click Ok and Save the settings.
