User Guidelines If your network contains other routers that do not run OSPF, but do run RIP routing protocols, the OSPF process can incorporate those routes learned via RIP. When redistribution is enabled, the router becomes an "AS Boundary Router" (ASBR). OSPF is more robust and converges more rapidly than RIP. Re-distribution of RIP routes should be used with care to avoid network instability. Redistribution should be done only in one direction. If RIP routes are redistributed into OSPF, do not redistribute the same OSPF networks back into RIP. Example The following example enables route advertisements learnt by RIP while running OSPF. Console (config)# router ospf redistribute rip router ospf redistribute static The router ospf redistribute static global configuration command enables advertising routes, configured statically, in the OSPF routing process. To disable static route advertising, use the no form of this command. Syntax router ospf redistribute static no router ospf redistribute static Default Configuration Statically configured route advertising is disabled. Command Mode Global Configuration mode User Guidelines There are no user guidelines for this command. Example The following example enables route advertisements statically configured while running OSPF. Console (config)# router ospf redistribute static OSPF Commands 235
