Sophos XGS OSPF

Question

Hi all, 
 I'm using OSPF but don&rsquo;t want to redistribute all routes. On Cisco, I would probably use a route map to filter which routes need to be advertised. Here with XGS, I have unchecked "Redistribute connected" and "Redistribute static." I&rsquo;m using the "network" statement to explicitly select subnets that need to be advertised, which works fine for directly connected subnets. 
 Now, I need to advertise one of my static routes. I tried adding a network statement for the static route that needs to be advertised, but it seems that the "network" statement only applies to directly connected routes, as it&rsquo;s not working. Any idea how to advertise only one of my static route ?

Hi Dominic Pageau , 
 Selected redistribution of static routes into OSPF can be achieved by enabling redistrubution of static routes with a route-map. The configuration is to be done via the CLI. 
 A sample config that would redistribute only the static route to destination 5.5.5.0/24 would be : 
 router ospf 
 ospf router-id 27.27.27.27 
 log-adjacency-changes 
 redistribute static route-map abc 
 network 27.27.27.0/24 area 0.0.0.0 
 exit 
 ! 
 access-list acl1 seq 5 permit 5.5.5.0/24 
 ! 
 route-map abc permit 5 
 match ip address acl1 
 exit 
 
 With the above config, even when multiple static routes are configured in the system, only the route to 5.5.5.0/24 would be redistributed into the OSPF domain. 
 Thanks,
