Each of the links in the Redistribution Summary page points to a page that configures the redistribution policy between the various routing components. Redistribution allows routes learned from one routing protocol to be redistributed through another. This is generally necessary when there is a transition from one IGP (RIP, IGRP, OSPF) to another.

Note: Route metrics are not translated between different routing protocols.

Interface subnets links: Specify routes describing subnets that the IP Switching product is directly connected to.

Aggregates links: Specify routes resulting from the aggregation of multiple routes from possibly different routing protocols (see the Route Aggregation page).

Static routes links: Specify manually-configured routes (see the Static Routes page).
