default-metric (RIP)
To set default metric values for Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the
default-metric
command. To return to the default state, use the default form of
the command.

Command Mode

Usage Guideline
The default-metric command is used in conjunction with the
redistribute
router
configuration (
redistribute (RIP) command on page 522
) 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 an
incompatible metric. Whenever a metric does not convert, using a default-metric
provides a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed.
Example
The following example shows how to configure the default metric 5 to redistribute
the OSPF routes. In other words, it assigns the OSPF-derived routes a RIP
metric of 5. Note that the command
redistribute ospf
without a metric option,
causes the OSPF redistribution to use the default metric.
Verify the settings by entering the
show ip protocols rip
command.
Syntax Description
