Which statement about redistribution of connected routes on Aruba OS CX is true?

• A. The 'redistribute connected' command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch including local loopback addresses
• B. The 'redistribute connected' command will redistribute routes from OSPF v2 and v3 processes
• C. The 'redistribute connected' command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch excluding local loopback addresses
• D. The 'redistribute connected' command will not redistribute any connected routes

Answer: (A)

Redistributing connected routes means taking every network that is directly reachable through the device’s interfaces and injecting those networks into the chosen routing protocol. On Aruba OS CX, if a loopback interface has an IP address, that network is treated as a connected route as well, so it will be redistributed unless you apply a filter. Therefore, the statement that the command redistributes all connected routes for the switch including local loopback addresses is correct. This command isn’t about pulling routes from OSPF processes—that would be redistribution of OSPF routes, not connected routes. It also doesn’t imply that none are redistributed, and it doesn’t exclude loopback networks by default.
