You can also enable or disable this feature in the OSPF Redistribute tab of the Policy dialog box by clicking in the field and selecting enable or disable from the pulldown menu.

You can also select your entry in the OSPF Redistribution tab of the Policy dialog box by clicking in the field and selecting any, type1, or type2 from the pulldown menu.
Subnets
Sets the OSPF route redistribution subnet value (the default value is allow):

  • suppress sets the switch to redistribute external subnet routes into an OSPF domain, with shortened mask lengths. In the advertisement, the external subnet routes mask lengths are shortened to their natural masks.
Note: When set to suppress, the switch automatically converts external subnet routes to their natural mask for advertisement on an OSPF interface.
