COMMAND USAGE
◆ The default metric must be used to resolve the problem of
redistributing external routes from other protocols that use
incompatible metrics.
◆ This command does not override the metric value set by the
redistribute command. When a metric value has not been configured by
the redistribute command, the default-metric command sets the
metric value to be used for all imported external routes.
EXAMPLE
