This task explains how to redistribute (inject) prefixes from another routing protocol into IPv6 multiprotocol BGP.

To accomplish this task the redistribute command is used in the address-family ipv6 configuration context of the corresponding BGP process.

Router(config-router-af)# redistribute protocol [process-id] \\
                            [level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2] [metric metric-value] \\
                            [metric-type {internal | external}] [route-map map-name]

The command specifies the routing protocol from which prefixes should be redistributed into IPv6 multiprotocol BGP.

The protocol argument can be one of the following keywords: bgp, connected, isis, rip or static.

Note: The connected keyword refers to routes that are established automatically by IPv6 having been enabled on an interface.

Example

The following example redistributes RIP routes into the IPv6 database of the local router:

router bgp 64900
no bgp default ipv4-unicast
address-family ipv6 unicast
 redistribute rip
