Configuring an OSPF redistribute policy
You can configure a redistribute entry for OSPF to announce routes of a certain source type, for example, static, RIP, or direct. If a route policy field is not configured for a redistribute entry, then the default action is taken on the basis of metric, metric-type, and subnet configured. This is called basic redistribution. Otherwise, you use the route policy specified to perform detailed redistribution. If no redistribution entry is configured, no external LSA is generated for non-OSPF routes.

Note:
Changing OSPF Redistribute contexts is a process-oriented operation that can affect system performance and network reachability while performing the procedures. Therefore, Nortel Networks recommends that if you want to change default preferences for an OSPF Redistribute context, you should do so before enabling the protocols.
