If you leave metrics off the 'show ip route' of the route in question
will list:
"Redistributing via..." but it will be missing the line that says
"Advertised by...."
And the route will not be seen.

Antonio,
I believe with EIGRP redistribution we can not do away with NOT setting
the
metric ? I believe redistribution fails complete;ly if no metrics are
not
set for EIGRP ( as well as RIP ) unlike OSPF,IS-IS and BGP that have
default
seed metrics ?
One common practice is to do a " show interface " on outgoing interface,
and
use the values you get on that interface for BW,DLY,MTU etc.
