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.

  • 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.
