• Default Metric—Causes RIP to use the default metric value for the propagated static 
route configuration (refer to Redistribution Feature).
• Transparent—Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric for the 
propagated static route configuration. This results in the following behavior:
- If the metric value of a static route is equal to or less than 15, this value is used in 
the RIP protocol when advertising this static route.
- If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the static route is not advertised 
to other routers using RIP.
• User Defined Metric—Enter the value of the metric.

propagated static route configuration. This results in the following behavior:
- If the metric value of a static route is equal to or less than 15, this value is used in 
the RIP protocol when advertising this static route.
- If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the static route is not advertised
