You use default metric to simplify your configuration when redistributing
multiple protocols.
Rip is easy, but there is also a default metric availabe for eigrp.
Testing the value of the metric assigned through a route map as compared
to the metric derived by using the default metric is a good test.
Thank You.

Group,
I was reading CCO site for rip default-metric but example is so lousy
on web
site can't understand may be it's my problem. if some one explain
with
example when to use default-metric in RIP while doing
redistribution..I mean
we can assgin metric thorugh a route-map or in redistribute
command..then
why do we need default metric...
thanks in advance.

Usage Guidelines
The *default-metric* command is used in conjunction with the
*redistribute*router configuration command to cause the current
routing protocol to use
the same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric
helps
solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics.
Whenever metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a
reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed.
Examples
The following example shows a router in autonomous system 109 using
both the
RIP and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols. The
example
advertises OSPF-derived routes using RIP and assigns the OSPF-derived
routes
a RIP metric of 10.
router rip
default-metric 10
redistribute ospf 109
