Thanks alexis , just wanted to confirm this
is this something introduced in new versions ? or it's been there since forever?
according my old information (passed R/S 6 yrs ago :)) , the router had to set the metric-type to internal to perserve the metric value of the IGP learnt prefixes
thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
If R2 advertises by the use of network statement a prefix that it received
via an IGP, it would then apply the IGP metric to the BGP metric and would
preserve that metric when sending those prefixes to its iBGP and eBGP peers.
A prefix metric is 0 is applied when advertised by network statement from a
router that has the subnet as directly connected.
Regards,
Alexis

Subject: BGP Metric
Folks
I have quick question on the BGP Metric
does the BGP by default take the metric of the IGP protocol and advertise
it to the IBGP neighbors ?
for example , i have domain where im running ISIS between say 3 routers
(R1 R2 R3 ) , R3 is advertising certain route to R2 via ISIS
assume R2 is running IBGP to R1 , R2 uses network command to advertise to
R1 the route received from R3
the question is , will R2 advertise that route to R1 with BGP metric equal
to the ISIS metric by default ???
this is what is happening in the scenario , but my previous knowledge was
that it should not happen by default ..so which is correct ?
thanks
