DEFAULT-METRIC
Syntax
default-metric METRIC <1-16>
no default-metric METRIC
Parameters
METRIC
Indicates the default metric value. Choose a number
between 1 and 16. By default, this command is set
to 1.
Description
Use the DEFAULT-METRIC command to specify the metrics assigned to
redistributed routes. This command is used with the REDISTRIBUTE
CONNECTED command to make the routing protocol use the specified
metric value for all redistributed routes. The DEFAULT-METRIC command
is useful in redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Every protocol
has different metrics and cannot be compared directly. The default metric
value provides the standard. All routes that are redistributed use the
default metric value.
Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.
Command Mode
Router mode
Example
The following commands assign the cost of 10 to the OSPF routes which
are redistributed into RIP:
switch#configure terminal
switch(config)#router rip
switch(config-router)#redistribute ospf
switch(config-router)#default-metric 10
