Parameter  Description 
Default Metric 
Enter the default metric value for the OSPF process here. The range is from 1 to 
16777214. By default, this value is 20. This value is used in conjunction with the 
OSPFv3 redistribution feature to enable the current routing protocol to use the 
same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric helps solve the 
problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever the metrics 
don't convert directly, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and 
enables the redistribution to proceed. 
Type 
Select the distance type here. Options to choose from are Intra-Area, Inter-Area, 
and External. 
•  Intra-Area - Specifies the distance for OSPF intra-area routes. 
•  Inter-Area - Specifies the distance for OSPF inter-area routes. 
•  External - Specifies the distance for OSPF external routes. 
Distance 
Enter the distance value for the OSPF process here. The range is from 1 to 254. 
By default, this value is 110 for all OSPF routes. 
Auto Bandwidth 
Enter the auto-bandwidth value here. This feature is used to control the reference 
value IPv6 OSPF uses when calculating metrics for interfaces. The range is from 
1 to 4294967.
