The default metric for OSPF is 20, that's why. If you specify a metric,
you'll avoid this.

Subject: Redistributing connected in OSPF

When I redistribute a connected 10 mb ethernet
interface (ospf cost of 10) into ospf using the
command "redistribute connected" a funny thing
happens.

The route is entered as an External Type 2 which is
fine because that is the default. But the metric is
20, not what I would expect of 10?

It seems as if redistribute connected doubles the
connected interfaces metric when redistributing into
OSPF.

Why?
