15.11 default-metric (OSPF)
To set default metric values for the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol, use the
default-metric command in router configuration mode. To return to the default state, use the no form of
this command.
Command Syntax
default-metric metric-value
no default-metric [metric-value]
metric-value Default metric value appropriate for the specified routing protocol.
Default
Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol. The metric of
redistributed connected and static routes is set to 0.
Command Mode
Router configuration
Usage
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 incompatible metrics. Whenever
metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the
redistribution to proceed.
Examples
The following example shows a router in autonomous system using both the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP) and the OSPF routing protocols. The example advertises OSPF-derived routes using
RIP and assigns the Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP)-derived routes a RIP metric of 10.
