Metric has slightly different meanings for different routing protocols. When
you redistribute from one protocol to another, you may want to place some
arbitrary metric onto the routes you are redistributing, for any number of
reasons. In lab prep and study, we usually do so to test that our routes
really are being redistributed ;->
So
Router rip
Redistribute OSPF 1 metric 2
You are redistributing ospf routes ( process 1 ) into rip, and assigning
those routes an initial metric ( hop count, for rip ) of two. As the routes
pass into the rip domain, that initial hop count will increase at every
router. if your rip domain is 14 routers wide, then the last guy out will
not see those redistributed routes because of count to infinity.
Router ospf 1
Redistribute rip metric 100 subnets
You are redistributing rip routes into ospf routing process 1. You are
assigning those routes an initial metric ( cost, in the case of ospf ) of
100, or roughly an E1 circuit. You are redistributing all subnets ( remember
that rip is classful ) rather than a summary. Since the redistribution does
not indicate a change in the ospf metric-type for redistributed routes, they
will be noted in the routing table as E2 routes, and the cost will not
change as those routes are perpetuated through the ospf domain.

<DIV>could somebody explain where we get the following metrics:</DIV>
<DIV>redistribute rip metric 100 subnets</DIV>
<DIV>redistribute ospf 1 metric 2</DIV>
