Configuring OSPF route redistribution

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 39, all the switches run OSPF, and the AS is divided into three areas. Switch A and Switch B act as ABRs to forward routes between areas. Switch C is configured as an ASBR to redistribute external routes (static routes). Routing information is propagated properly in the AS.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

  2. Configure OSPF basic functions. (See "Configuring OSPF basic functions")

  3. Configure OSPF to redistribute routes:

    # On Switch C, configure a static route destined for network 3.1.2.0/24.

    <SwitchC> system-view
    [SwitchC] ip route-static 3.1.2.1 24 10.4.1.2
    

    # On Switch C, configure OSPF to redistribute static routes.

    [SwitchC] ospf 1
    [SwitchC-ospf-1] import-route static
    
  4. Verify the configuration:

    # Display the ABR/ASBR information of Switch D.

    <SwitchD> display ospf abr-asbr
