Configuring redistribution to BGP

Before you begin

If required, a route policy exists.

About this task

Configure redistribute entries for BGP to announce routes of a certain source type to BGP, for example, direct, static, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). If you do not configure a route policy, then the switch uses the default action based on metric, metric type, and subnet. Use a route policy to perform detailed redistribution.

Procedure

In the navigation tree, open the following folders: Configuration > IP.
Click BGP.
Click the Redistribute tab.
Click Insert.
Configure the source protocol.
If required, choose a route policy.
Configure the metric to apply to redistributed routes.
Enable the redistribution instance.
Click Insert.

Redistribute field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Redistribute tab.

Name	Description
RouteSource	Specifies the source protocol for the route redistribution entry.
Enable	Enables (or disables) a BGP redistribute entry for a specified source type.
RoutePolicy	Configures the route policy to use for the detailed redistribution of external routes from a specified source into the BGP domain.
Metric	Configures the metric for the redistributed route. The value can be a range between 0–65535. The default value is 0. Avaya recommends that you use a value that is consistent with the destination protocol.
