 command is used to configure the redistribution of routes from a source protocol into the 

RIP destination protocol. This command is used on the RIP router that will perform the redistribution.

A source protocol is a protocol from which the routes are learned. A destination protocol is the one into 
which the routes are redistributed. Make sure that both protocols are loaded and enabled before configur-
ing redistribution.

Redistribution applies criteria specified in a route map to routes received from the source protocol. There-
fore, configuring redistribution requires an existing route map. For example, the following command 
configures the redistribution of OSPF routes into the RIP network using the ospf-to-rip route map:

-> ip redist ospf into rip route-map ospf-to-rip 

RIP routes received by the router interface are processed based on the contents of the ospf-to-rip route 
map. Routes that match criteria specified in this route map are either allowed or denied redistribution into 
the RIP network. The route map may also specify the modification of route information before the route is 
redistributed. See 

 for more information.

To remove a route map redistribution configuration, use the no form of the ip redist command. For exam-
ple:

-> no ipv6 redist ospf into rip route-map ospf-to-rip

Use the 

 command to verify the redistribution configuration:

-> show ip redist

Source       Destination

Protocol     Protocol     Status    Route Map

------------+------------+---------+--------------------

LOCAL4       RIP          Enabled   rip_1

LOCAL4       OSPF         Enabled   ospf_2

LOCAL4       BGP          Enabled   bgp_3

RIP          OSPF         Enabled   ospf-to-rip 

The administrative status of a route map redistribution configuration is enabled by default. To change the 
administrative status, use the status parameter with the ip redist command. For example, the following 
command disables the redistribution administrative status for the specified route map:

-> ip redist ospf into rip route-map ospf-to-rip status disable

The following command example enables the administrative status:

-> ip redist ospf into rip route-map ospf-to-rip status enable
