Redistribute BGP learned routes into OSPF Area, Dell NSeries CLI

We have a Dell N3048 switch that is BPG neighbors with a cisco router, and the BGP relationship is operating normally. However, this Dell switch is in an OSPF area with other devices, and we need this switch to advertise the BGP routes into the OSPF area. Currently the config line item in the switch for this is:

router ospf

router-id-10.61.124.66

redistribute bgp

exit

But according to documentation (n series cli guide, page 1725), there are other items in the syntax for this command that I am missing (but also don't fully understand their use) https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/n-series-v663_cli_en-us.pdf

redistribute {protocol} [metric metric-value] [metric-type type-value] [tag tag-value] [subnets]

Can anyone shed some light on these other line items? Or if I'm missing something else/need to provide other config lines? Thanks.
