Command History
Usage Guidelines This command is used by the OSPF to set the forwarding address for the redistributed type-5 LSAs. The
value of the forwarding address specified by the autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) can be
either 0.0.0.0 or nonzero. The 0.0.0.0 address indicates that the originating router (the ASBR) is the next
hop.
If the ASBR redistributes routes and OSPF is not enabled on the next hop interface for those routes, the
forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0 .
All of the following conditions must be met to set the forwarding address field to a nonzero address:
• OSPF is enabled on the ASBR's next hop interface.
• ASBR’s next hop interface is non-passive under OSPF.
• ASBR’s next hop interface is not point-to-point.
• ASBR’s next hop interface is not point-to-multipoint.
For all other conditions, set the forwarding address to 0.0.0.0.
This command requires the LAN Enterprise Services license.
Examples This example shows how to set the forwarding address:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# route-map test1 10 permit
switch(config-route-map)# set forwarding-address
switch(config-route-map)#
