Difference between two metric + types that metric type 1 is a metric which is "commensurable" with inner OSPF links. When + calculating a metric to the external destination, the full path metric is calculated as a + metric sum path of a router which had advertised this link plus the link metric.

If external link is advertised with + metric type 2 the path is selected which lies through the router which advertised this link + with the least metric despite of the fact that internal path to this router is longer (with + more cost). However, if two routers advertised an external link and with metric type 2 the + preference is given to the path which lies through the router with a shorter internal path. + If two different routers advertised two links to the same external destimation but with + different metric type, metric type 1 is preferred. If type of a metric left undefined the + router will consider these external links to have a default metric type 2. + +.. cfgcmd:: set protocols ospf redistribute <route source> route-map <name> + + This command allows to use route map to filter redistributed routes from given route source. + There are five modes available for route source: bgp, connected, kernel, rip, static. + + Configuration example --------------------- |
