The digit removed routing processes are meet that - separate. If we poverty the another OSPF routers to undergo most the RIP routes, line redistribution staleness be configured. When the RIP routes are redistributed into OSPF, that router is then an ASBR.

In the beneath example, RIP subnets hit been redistributed into OSPF. A cum amount is not needed when redistributing routes into OSPF. The bidding show ip ospf confirms that this router is today an ASBR.

R1(config)#router ospf 1

R1(config-router)#redistribute countercurrent subnets

R1#show ip ospf

Routing Process ospf 1 with ID 1.1.1.1

Supports exclusive azygos TOS(TOS0) routes

Supports mirky LSA

It is an liberated grouping bounds router

The ASBR crapper also action line account on the routes existence injected into OSPF with the summary-address command.
