metric 
metric-
value
(OPTIONAL) Assign a value to the redistributed route. The range is 0 
to 16777215. The default is 0. Use a value that is consistent with the 
destination protocol.
metric-type 
{external | 
internal}
(OPTIONAL) The external link type associated with the default route 
advertised into a routing domain. Specify one of the following:
• external
• internal
level-1 (OPTIONAL) Routes are independently redistributed into IS-IS as 
Level 1 routes.
level-1-2 (OPTIONAL) Routes are independently redistributed into IS-IS as 
Level-1-2 routes.
level-2 (OPTIONAL) Routes are independently redistributed into IS-IS as 
Level 2 routes. This is the default.
route-map 
map-
name
(OPTIONAL) If you do not enter the route-map argument, all routes 
are redistributed. If a map-name value is not specified, no routers are 
imported.
Defaults
• metric metric-value = 0

Usage 
Information
To redistribute a default route (0.0.0.0/0), configure the default-information 
originate command.
Changing or disabling a keyword in this command does not affect the state of the other 
command keywords.
When an LSP with an internal metric is received, the FTOS considers the route cost while 
considering the advertised cost to reach the destination.
Redistributed routing information is filtered with the distribute-list out command to 
ensure that the routes are properly are passed to the receiving routing protocol.
How a metric value assigned to a redistributed route is advertised depends on how on the 
configuration of the metric-style command. If the metric-style command is set for 
Narrow or Transition mode and the metric value in the 
redistribute command is set to a 
number higher than 63, the metric value advertised in LSPs is 63. If the metric-style 
command is set for Wide mode, the metric value in the redistribute command is 
advertised.
