If
Redistribute Static Route is enabled, s
elect an option for the
Redistribute
Static Metric field.
The following options are available:
•
Transparent—Causes RIP to use the routing table metric as the RIP metric
for the propagated static route configuration. This results in the following
behavior:
-
If the metric value of a static route is equal to or less than 15, this value is
used in the RIP protocol when advertising this static route.
-
If the metric value of a static route is greater than 15, the static route is
not advertised to other routers using RIP.
•
Default Metric—Causes RIP to use the default metric value for the
propagated static route configuration (refer to
Redistributing Static Route
Configuration
).
