• Can identify the subset of the routes to filter or change based on the route's prefix/length, and many other factors.
• Can make filtering choices.
• Can set different metric values with different routes.
• Can set different metric types for different OSPF routes.
• Can set route tags.

• Relies on the match command to identify routes.
• There are multiple match command options for redistribution:
  • match interface g 1/1
  • match 192.168.1.254 1
  • match 192.168.1.252 ACL-INGRESS
  • match 192.168.2.251 PREFIX-INGRESS
  • match ip next-hop ACL-EGRESS
  • match ip next-hop 2
  • match ip route-source ACL-INGRESS
  • match ip route-source {access-list-number | access-list-name}
  • match metric metric-value {+- deviation}
  • match route-type {internal | external [type-1 | Matches route type type-2] | level-1 | level-2}
  • match tag tag-value […tag-value]

• Set commands to change characteristics. There are multiple set command options for redistribution.
  • set metric metric-value
  • set metric bandwidth delay reliability load mtu
  • set metric-type {type-1 | type-2}
  • set tag tag-value

• To set the metric of a route-map entry, use set metric.
• Validation commands:
  • show ip eigrp topology
  • show ip ospf database [external | nssa-external]
  • show ip rip database
  • show ip route

• The metric-type can only be changed for OSPF routes when they are being redistributed into the OSPF domain. Can only be done on the ASBR.
• The tag value is useful for preventing routing loops when there are multiple routers doing mutual route redistribution between two or more routing domains.

• Validation commands

show ip access-list
show ip prefix-list
show route-map
show ip eigrp topology table
show ip ospf database
show ip rip database
show ip route

• The distribute-list command refers to the direction, and to either an ACL or IP prefix-list, allowing the routes matched with a permit and filtering routes matched with a deny action.
• The distribute-list command can be configured to refer to the routing process from which routes are redistributed and cuase the router to filter routes taken from that process.
