Which command is used to apply a distribute list to OSPF?

  • config)# distribute list 1 in
  • config-std-nacl)# distribute-list 1 in
  • config-router)# distribute-list 1 out
  • config)# distribute-list 1 out

Explanation: A distribute list is a technique used to control routing updates by applying an access list to the routing process. To apply this filter, the distribute-list command must be configured under the routing protocol. This requirement means the command must be issued from the config-router prompt.

The behavior of distribute lists in OSPF is governed by specific rules:

  • distribute-list in: This command filters which routes the SPF process installs into the local IP routing table; it does not remove routes from the link-state database (LSDB).
  • distribute-list out: In OSPF, this command is used only on an ASBR and applies exclusively to redistributed routes, allowing the administrator to select which of those routes are advertised to other routers.
