The property redistributes connected routes on Aruba OS CX. Which of the following statements about redistribute connected 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 all OSPF V2 and V3 processes
• C. The 'redistribute connected' command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch except local loopback addresses
• D. The 'redistribute connected' command will redistribute only static routes with a route-map called 'connected-routes'

Answer: (A)

When you redistribute connected routes, you are taking networks that the device can reach directly through its interfaces and injecting those networks into a routing protocol (like OSPF or BGP). On Aruba OS CX, the connected route set includes every interface with an IP address, and that naturally covers loopback interfaces if they have an IP assigned. So, redistributing connected means all such directly connected networks are shared with the chosen routing protocol, including the local loopback addresses. This is why the statement describing redistribution as including local loopback addresses reflects the actual behavior.

The other choices miss the fact that redistribution of connected routes is about directly attached networks being advertised into a routing protocol, not about pulling in routes from OSPF processes, and it isn’t inherently limited to static routes or gated behind a specific route-map named “connected-routes” unless you add such filtering explicitly.
