The redistirbution charicteristics are per RFC1403, as copied below. In most
cases you would not want to do this, since iBGP must be fully meshed to work
properly. The real reason to do this, is in the case of two networks
connecting. One running iBGP and the other running OSPF, in this case you
can redistribute all of your iBGP routes into OSPF for the other network.
2.2. Importing BGP routes into OSPF
1. BGP implementations SHOULD allow an AS to control
announcements of BGP-learned routes into OSPF.
Implementations SHOULD support such control with the
granularity of a single network. Implementations SHOULD also
support such control with the granularity of an autonomous
system, where the autonomous system may be either the
autonomous system that originated the route or the autonomous
system that advertised the route to the local system
(adjacent autonomous system).
o The default MUST be to export no routes from BGP into
OSPF. Administrators must configure every route they
wish to import.
A configuration parameter MAY allow an administrator to
configure an ASBR to import all the BGP routes into the
OSPF routing domain.
2. The administrator MUST be able to configure the OSPF cost and
the OSPF metric type of every route imported into OSPF.
o The OSPF cost MUST default to 1; the OSPF metric type
MUST default to type 2.
3. Routes learned via BGP from peers within the same AS MUST not
be imported into OSPF.
4. The ASBR MUST never generate a default route into the OSPF
routing domain unless explicitly configured to do so.
A possible criterion for generating default into an IGP is to
allow the administrator to specify a set of (network route,
AS_PATH, default route cost, default route type) tuples. If
the ASBR learns of the network route for an element of the
set, with the corresponding AS_PATH, then it generates a
default route into the OSPF routing domain, with cost
"default route cost" and type, "default route type". The
lowest cost default route will then be injected into the OSPF
routing domain.
This is the recommended method for originating default routes
in the OSPF routing domain.
