through other routing protocols (RIP and Static) into the OSPF network transparently.

Active Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learn through the selected

protocol.

comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the internal OSPF cost is

added to the AB boundary router to the external metrics.

Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable to the OSPF

cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router is used in path decision to

a destination.

Metric Value Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777214).
