Hello,
In order to generate a default external route into OSPF you use the
default-information originate command. According to the IP Routing
Protocols Command Reference the default value of the metric argument
is 10, but the IOS doesn't seem to agree with that.
R0(config-router)#do sh run | s ospf
router ospf 10
log-adjacency-changes
network 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
default-information originate always
R0(config-router)#do sh ip ospf data ex
OSPF Router with ID (100.100.100.100) (Process ID 10)
Type-5 AS External Link States
LS age: 8
Options: (No TOS-capability, DC)
LS Type: AS External Link
Link State ID: 0.0.0.0 (External Network Number )
Advertising Router: 100.100.100.100
LS Seq Number: 80000006
Checksum: 0x1003
Length: 36
Network Mask: /0
Metric Type: 2 (Larger than any link state path)
TOS: 0
Metric: 1
Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
External Route Tag: 10
Does anyone know why the metric is shown as 1 here?
Thank you!
