Hi,
If you have more than one 'redistribution' statements (Ex: redistributinng
connected, static and other routing protocols), you need to specify the
metric in each of the statement, in order for rip to accept it. Using
'default-metric', there is no need to specify metrics for individual
redistribute statements.
Thanks
Sreeni.
