  HI Desmond,

  One example I could think about is to avoid Load balancing when there
exist two paths to a network under redistribution.

                        EIGRP

                  R1-------------- R2

                         OSPF

  In the above topolgy if you are redistributing OSPF into EIGRP at both R1
and R2 and you want to avoid load balancing between them then you might use
metric to prioratize one router over the other in the EIGRP domain( Ther
are other ways to achive this but this is just a easy example I could thiunk
about at this time BTW by default EIGRP load balances over 4 path).

  Hope this helps you,

  Thank you,

  Venkatesh

    hi there,

    just like to find out when i am redistributing one routing process to
    another, how do i determine the metric to be used?

    For example:
    router ospf 100
    redistribute bgp 20 metric 1000 subnets (why use 1000 and not other
    values)

    or

    router ospf 100
    redistribut rip metric 1 (why use 1 and not other values)

    tks!

    Desmond
