Configuring IPv4 address family route parameters
29
The device automatically redistributes Level-1 routes into Level-2 routes. Thus, you do not need to
enable this type of redistribution. You also can enable redistribution of Level-2 routes into Level-1
routes.
The device attempts to use the redistributed route’s metric as the route’s IPv4 IS-IS metric. For
example, if an OSPF route has an OSPF cost of 20, the router uses 20 as the route’s IPv4 IS-IS
metric. The device uses the redistributed route’s metric as the IPv4 IS-IS metric unless the route
does not a have a valid metric. In this case, the device assigns the default metric value to the route.
For information about the default metric, refer to
“Changing the default redistribution metric” on
page 962 , which follows this section.
Changing the default redistribution metric
When IPv4 IS-IS redistributes a route from another route source (such as OSPF, BGP4+, or a static
IPv4 route) into IPv4 IS-IS, it uses the route’s metric value as its metric when the metric is not
modified by a route map or metric parameter and the default redistribution metric is set to its
default value of 0. You can change the default metric to a value from 0 – 65535.
NOTE
The Brocade implementation of IS-IS does not support the optional metric types Delay, Expense, or
Error.
For example, to change the default metric to 20, enter the following command at the IPv4 IS-IS
unicast address family configuration level.
BigIron RX(config-isis-router-ipv4u)# default-metric 20
Syntax: [no] default-metric <value>
The <value> parameter specifies the default metric. You can specify a value from 0 – 65535. The
default is 0.
To restore the default value for the default metric, enter the no form of this command.
Redistributing static IPv4 routes into IPv4 IS-IS
To redistribute static IPv4 routes from the IPv4 static route table into IPv4 IS-IS routes, enter the
following command at the IPv4 IS-IS unicast address family configuration level.
BigIron RX(config-isis-router-ipv4u)# redistribute static
This command configures the device to redistribute all static IPv4 routes into Level-2 IS-IS routes.
Syntax: [no] redistribute static [level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2] |
metric <number> | metric-type [external | internal] | route-map <name>
The level-1, level-1-2, and level-2 keywords restrict redistribution to the specified IPv4 IS-IS level.
The metric <number> parameter restricts the redistribution to only those routes that have the
metric you specify.
The metric-type external | internal parameter restricts redistribution to one of the following:
• external – The metric value is not comparable to an IPv4 IS-IS internal metric and is always
higher than the IPv4 IS-IS internal metric.
• internal – The metric value is comparable to metric values used by IPv4 IS-IS. This is the
default.
