external 2--Routes that are external to the autonomous system, but are imported into OSPF as type 2 external route.

tag tag-value (Optional) 32-bit decimal value attached to each external route. This is not used by the OSPF protocol itself. It may be used to communicate information between Autonomous System Boundary Routers. If none is specified, then the remote autonomous system number is used for routes from BGP and EGP; for other protocols, zero (0) is used.
route-map (Optional) Route map should be interrogated to filter the importation of routes from this source routing protocol to the current routing protocol. If not specified, all routes are redistributed. If this keyword is specified, but no route map tags are listed, no routes will be imported.

map-tag Defines a meaningful name for the route map. The redistribute router configuration command uses this name to reference this route map. Multiple route maps may share the same map tag name.
permit (Optional) If the match criteria are met for this route map, and permit is specified, the route is redistributed as controlled by the set actions. In the case of policy routing, the packet is policy routed.

If the match criteria are not met, and permit is specified, the next route map with the same map tag is tested. If a route passes none of the match criteria for the set of route maps sharing the same name, it is not redistributed by that set.

deny (Optional) If the match criteria are met for the route map, and deny is specified, the route is not redistributed or in the case of policy routing, the packet is not policy routed, and no further route maps sharing the same map tag name will be examined.

no timers basic
update Rate in seconds at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the routing protocol.
invalid Interval of time in seconds after which a route is declared invalid; it should be three times the value of update. A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The route then enters holddown. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets.
holddown Interval in seconds during which routing information regarding better paths is suppressed. It should be at least three times the value of update. A route enters into a holddown state when an update packet is received that indicates the route is unreachable. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets. When holddown expires, routes advertised by other sources are accepted and the route is no longer inaccessible.
flush Amount of time in seconds that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table; the interval specified must be at least the sum of invalid and holddown. If it is less than this sum, the proper holddown interval cannot elapse, which results in a new route being accepted before the holddown interval expires.
sleeptime (Optional) For IGRP only, interval in milliseconds for postponing routing updates in the event of a flash update. The sleeptime value should be less than the update time. If the sleeptime is greater than the update time, routing tables will become unsynchronized.
