Gary,
The easiest way to do this is just to put all 1's for the
metric. Not only will this cause you to almost always pick internal
over external routes, it also makes it easier to manipulate your routing
path. Remember that the bandwidth value used in the composite
calculation for IGRP and EIGRP is the bottleneck, or the lowest
bandwidth along the path. This means that if you redistribute into IGRP
or EIGRP with a bandwidth metric of 1, your redistribution point is
always the bottleneck. Therefore if you want to manipulate your path
determination internal to your EIGRP or IGRP AS, you only need to play
with the delay. Since changing the bandwidth value can also affect
other aspects of the router, it is always preferable to change the delay
instead. Another point to mention is that if you only have a single
point of redistribution, the metric is arbitrary.

Subject: defualt metric when redistributing into IGRP
Stumped
What should be used for the default IGRP metrics when redistributing
IGRP
into OSPF.
this would be using the
default-metric bandwidth delay reliability load MTU
statement
- Any good pointers on redistributing metrics?
Thanks
