Hello, I got some questions when using the "match ip route-source" command and would appreciate any input: 1. I was trying to set the metric for all the igrp routed redistributed into ospf t0 2600 using a route-map. Originally the route 12.0.0.0 showed up with a metric of 20. r3#i 12.0.0.0 Routing entry for 12.0.0.0/8 Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20, type extern 2, forward metric 64 Redistributing via ospf 1 Last update from 135.1.20.4 on Serial0, 00:26:01 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 135.1.20.4, from 135.1.14.4, 00:26:01 ago, via Serial0 Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1 2. The I added a route map igrp-ospf and applied it to the ospf redistribution process. route-map igrp-ospf permit 10 match ip route-source 15 set metric 2600 r4(config-router)# redistribute igrp 1 subnets route-map igrp-ospf 3. I had thought that I have will have to add an access-list 15 before I see the metric changes, surprisingly, I noticed that the metric changed right away without a ACL 15... r3#i 12.0.0.0 Routing entry for 12.0.0.0/8 Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 2600, type extern 2, forward metric 64 Redistributing via ospf 1 Last update from 135.1.20.4 on Serial0, 00:00:13 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 135.1.20.4, from 135.1.14.4, 00:00:13 ago, via Serial0 Route metric is 2600, traffic share count is 1 4. According to cisco's site, the usage for match ip route-source says "To redistribute routes that have been advertised by routers and access servers at the address specified by the access list". It is kind of vague and doesn't explain why I can change the metric without specify ACL... Any ideas?
