O CONFIGURE DEFAULT METRIC VALUE
A default metric helps to solve the problem of redistributing routes with
incompatible metrics. Whenever metrics do not convert, a default metric provides
a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed.
E
XAMPLE
ALU(config-router rip)# default-metric 10
ALU(config-router rip)# no default-metric 10
Note: Use default-metric command in conjunction with the redistribute (see “To Configure
Redistribution”) configuration command to make the current routing protocol to use
the same metric value for all the redistributed routes.
This is explained below:
!
router rip
network 172.19.0.0
default-metric 10
redistribute static
redistribute ospf 1 metric 5
As per the example, all the routes imported from the Static routing protocol will be
assigned metric of 10.
In case of routes imported from OSPF routing protocol, a metric of 5 is assigned to all
the routes.
Command (in RCM) Description
default-metric <1-16> This command sets the default metric
values of redistributed routes.
no default-metric <1-16> The ‘no’ command sets the metric of
redistributed routes to its default.
The metric of redistributed connected
and static routes is set to 0, otherwise
default metric is set to 1.
