Actually, OSPF has a default metric (20). Unless prohibited, I prefer
to use a metric type of 1 so the cost changes as it traverses the
network. With RIP you have to either specify a default metric, or
redistribute it with a metric. Be careful. Mae it a slow as possible
as a metric of 16 is unreachable.
