Configure OSPFv3 Redistribution

The Secure Firewall Threat Defense device can control the redistribution of routes between the OSPF routing processes. The rules for redistributing routes from one routing process into an OSPF routing process are displayed. You can redistribute routes discovered by EIGRP, RIP and BGP into the OSPF routing process. You can also redistribute static and connected routes into the OSPF routing process.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Devices > Device Management, and edit the threat defense device.

Step 2

Select Routing > OSPF.

Step 3

Select Redistribution, and click Add.

You can click Edit (edit icon), or use the right-click menu to cut, copy, past, insert, and delete areas.

Step 4

Configure the following redistribution options for each OSPF process:

  • Source Protocol—The source protocol from which routes are being redistributed. The supported protocols are connected, OSPF, Static, EIGRP, and BGP. If you choose OSPF, you must enter the Process ID in the Process ID field. If you choose BGP, you must add the AS number in the AS Number field.

  • Metric —Metric value for the routes being distributed. The default value is 10. Valid values range from 0 to 16777214.

    When redistributing from one OSPF process to another OSPF process on the same device, the metric will be carried through from one process to the other if no metric value is specified. When redistributing other processes to an OSPF process, the default metric is 20 when no metric value is specified.

  • Metric Type—The metric type is the external link type that is associated with the default route that is advertised into the OSPF routing domain. The available options are 1 for a Type 1 external route or 2 for a Type 2 external route.

  • Tag —Tag specifies the 32-bit decimal value attached to each external route that is not used by OSPF itself, but which may be used to communicate information between ASBRs. If none is specified, then the remote autonomous system number is used for routes from BGP and EGP. For other protocols, zero is used. Valid values are from 0 to 4294967295.

  • Route Map—Checks for filtering the importing of routes from the source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. If this parameter is not specified, all routes are redistributed. If this parameter is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes are imported. Or you can add a new route map by clicking Add (add icon). See Route Map for the procedure to add a new route map.

  • Process ID—The OSPF process ID, either 1 or 2.

    Note

    The Process ID is enabled the OSPFv3 process is redistributing a route learned by another OSPFv3 process.

  • Match—Enables OSPF routes to be redistributed into other routing domains:

    • Internal for routes that are internal to a specific autonomous system.

    • External 1 for routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPFv3 as Type 1 external routes.

    • External 2 for routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPFv3 as Type 2 external routes.

    • NSSA External 1 for routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPFv3 in an NSSA for IPv6 as Type 1 external routes.

    • NSSA External 2 for routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPFv3 in an NSSA for IPv6 as Type 2 external routes.
