Command Modes
Router configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the
default-metric
command with the
redistribute
command to configure the same metric value
for all redistributed routes except static and directly connected routes. A default metric helps to
redistribute routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever external route metrics do not convert to an
OSPF metric, use a default metric to enable the redistribution to proceed.
Note
The
default-metric
command does not apply to the redistribution of directly connected routes into
OSPF. Use a route map to change the default metric for directly connected routes.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure OSPF to redistribute RIP and BGP and set the default metric to 10:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
router ospf 201
switch(config-router)#
default-metric 10
switch(config-router)#
redistribute rip 109 route-map FilterRip
switch(config-router)#
redistribute bgp 4 route-map FilterBgp
switch(config-router)#
metric-value
Default metric value appropriate for the specified routing protocol.
The range is from 1 to 1677214.
