default-metric (RIP IPv6)
To set the default metric for IPv6 RIP, use the default-metric. To return the metric
to its default value, use the no form of this command.
default-metric METRIC-VALUE
no default-metric [METRIC-VALUE ]
Default The default metric value is 1
Command Mode Router configuration
Usage Guideline The default-metric command is used in conjunction with the redistribute router
configuration command to cause 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 an incompatible metric. Whenever a metric cannot
convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the
redistribution to proceed.
Example The following example shows IPv6 RIP redistributing routes from OSPF. All
redistributed routes are advertised with a metric of 10.
Syntax Description
METRIC-VALUE Default metric value. A number from 1 to 16.
