protocols. Use the
no form to remove the default metric for the supported protocol
types.

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
Console(config-router)#default-metric 100
Console(config-router)#
