It's a typo, it should read 1. Also, @Pavel, the E2 metric does matter
because it determines when to check the forward metric. If you
originate multiple E2 defaults all with the same cost, the forward
metrics will be compared, making the lookup similar to an E1 route.
You can see the forward metric through the "show ip route a.b.c.d"
output.
