Configure EIGRP redistribution settings

Define rules to redistribute routes from other routing protocols to the EIGRP routing process to enable route sharing across different routing protocols.

To configure EIGRP redistribution settings, perform these steps:

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 list, select 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 within a network statement scope automatically redistribute to EIGRP, without additional rules. Specify the metric when redistributing static routes to VTI interfaces in EIGRP. You do not need to specify the metric for static routes pointing to other types of interfaces,

  • 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 select 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

Select the route map object to apply to the redistribution entry from the Route Map drop-down list. To create a new route map object, click Add (add icon). For instructions to add a new route map, refer to Configure Route Map Entry

Step 6

Click OK and click Save to save the changes.

The EIGRP redistribution settings have been configured and saved. Routes from the selected source protocol will be redistributed to EIGRP according to the specified rules and metrics.
