ports that are currently active. The following example enables cost calculation for currently active ports.

device(config-ospf-router)# auto-cost use-active-ports

The use-active-ports option enables cost calculation for currently active ports only. This option does
not have any effect on non-VE or non-LAG interfaces. The default operation is for costs to be based on
configured ports.

Define redistribution filters

Route redistribution imports and translates different protocol routes into a specified protocol type. On
the device, redistribution is supported for static routes, OSPF, RIP, and BGP4. OSPF redistribution
supports the import of static, RIP, and BGP4 routes into OSPF routes.

NOTE
The device advertises the default route into OSPF even if redistribution is not enabled, and even if the
default route is learned through an IBGP neighbor. IBGP routes (including the default route) are not
redistributed into OSPF by OSPF redistribution (for example, by the OSPF redistribute command).

In this example, an administrator wants to configure the device acting as the ASBR (Autonomous
System Boundary Router) between the RIP domain and the OSPF domain to redistribute routes
between the two domains.

NOTE
The ASBR must be running both RIP and OSPF protocols to support this activity.
