This is used to set the metric for routes that you redistribute IN from
other protocols. RIP is one, IGRP/EIGRP are other protocols, that require
the definition of a metric during inbound redistribution. Without an
inbound metric being set, redistribution does not occur. This is because
the protocol (ie RIP)cannot interpret the native metric of the redistributed
protocol and therefore views these routes as unreachable. See below for
correct usage of metric and default-metric during redistribution. You can
use metric statements for each protocol
!
router rip
network 10.0.0.0
redistribute ospf 10 metric 5
redistribute eigrp 15 metric 5
!
or a default-metric can be set for all protocol redistributions
!
router rip
network 10.0.0.0
redistribute ospf 10
redistribute eigrp 15
default-metric 5
