BGP, Insert BGP Redistribute dialog box fields


Field Description
RouteSource
Select the route source protocol for the redistribution entry.
Enable
Enables (or disables) a BGP redistribute entry for a specified source type.
You can also enable or disable this feature in the Redistribute tab of the BGP dialog box by clicking in the field and selecting enable or disable from the pull-down menu.
Metric
Sets a numerical metric value for the redistributed route. The value can be a range between 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.
Notes:
  • If you do not specify a value for this option, and no value is specified in the config ip bgp default-metric command, the default metric value is 0. Nortel Networks* recommends that you use a value that is consistent with the destination protocol.
  • When you apply the route-policy parameter (see next field description), the metric-value that is configured within that policy takes precedence over the metric-value setting for the metric parameter described here.
metric-value is an integer value between 0 and 65535.
RoutePolicy
Sets the route policy by name to be used for the detailed redistribution of external routes from a specified source into a BGP domain.
Click the ellipse button and choose a policy (if configured) from the list in the Route Policy dialog box. To deselect an entry, press [Ctrl] and click the left mouse button.
