distribute lists in redistribution ?

arsalan921

hello guys ,

i just need to clear one simple thing regarding distribute lists.

router ospf 1
redistribute rip subnets
distribute-list 2 out rip

what will the above command do ?
it will block routes from ospf into rip ? or from rip to ospf ?

The first line will redistribute RIP routes into OSPF.

The distribute list will apply to routes being redistributed into RIP from OSPF. So you would also need to redistribute ospf in your rip config for the distribute list to do anything.
