DIST_ROUTES_IN

The DIST_ROUTES_IN parameter controls how RouteD redistributes routes that it receives from this RIP_INTERFACE network to wide area networks (WANs). This parameter does not affect redistribution of routes to local area networks (LANs).

Use the following values for the DIST_ROUTES_IN parameter:

*CALC

RouteD determines a value of FULL or LIMITED by whether the RIP_INTERFACE network is a LAN or a WAN. If the specified interface is broadcast-capable, it is assumed local, and a value of FULL is given. Otherwise, the system uses a value of LIMITED.

FULL

This value indicates that RouteD redistributes routes that it receives from the specified interface to all of the other interfaces that use normal RIP algorithm. Specify this value only for local networks.

LIMITED

This value indicates that the system does not redistribute routes that it receives from the RIP_INTERFACE network to other LIMITED interfaces. Specify this value only for some certain types of WAN. You cannot set this value for a LAN.
