Route Redistribution
- Network > Virtual Router > Redistribution Profiles
Redistribution profiles direct the firewall to filter, set priority,
and perform actions based on desired network behavior. Route redistribution
allows static routes and routes that are acquired by other protocols
to be advertised through specified routing protocols.
Redistribution profiles must be applied to routing protocols
in order to take effect. Without redistribution rules, each protocol
runs separately and does not communicate outside its purview. Redistribution
profiles can be added or modified after all routing protocols are
configured and the resulting network topology is established.
Apply redistribution profiles to the RIP and OSPF protocols by
defining export rules. Apply redistribution profiles to BGP in the
Redistribution
Rules
tab. Refer to the following table.Redistribution Profile
