The default-metric is not used to increase the hop count for RIP it is
used for redistributing routes into RIP. If a metric is not specified
on the redistribution line then the default-metric will be used for the
routes coming into RIP.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Simple Rip question
When I run
Router Rip
Rip version 2
redistribute connected
defualt-metric xx <---------
I am confused at what the metric does. I thought that it would be
applied
to the directly connected interfaces I was redistributing. Thus I
thought
that if I increased the number and cleared all the tables that the
adjoining
routers would then show a higher hop count equivalent to the increased
default-metric I used..
Since I tried my above theory and the hop count show via "Show ip route"
never increased on any of my routers apparently my thinking is all wet..
Any help out there?
