Route redistribution occurs when the system learns the advertising routes from static or directly connected routes or another routing protocol. Different protocols assign different values to redistributed routes to identify either the routes and their origins. The metric value is the most common attribute that is changed to properly redistribute other routes into a routing protocol. Other attributes that can be changed include the metric type (for example, external and internal route types in OSPF) and route tag. Use the redistribute command in OSPF, RIP, ISIS, and BGP to set some of these attributes for routes that are redistributed into those protocols.

Route maps add to that redistribution capability by allowing you to match specific routes and set or change more attributes when redistributing those routes.

In the following example, the redistribute command calls the route map static ospf to redistribute only certain static routes into OSPF. According to the route map static ospf, only routes that have a next hop of Gigabitethernet interface 0/0 and that have a metric of 255 are redistributed into the OSPF backbone area.
