Subject: RIP Summarization of redistributed routes - Whats the metric?

Hi experts,

When I summarize routes coming from another domain, the metric shown in the receiving router is one higher than the value given along with the redistribute command. Is it the normal behavior? If no summarization is done on the interface, all the specifics are shown with the metric mentioned in redistribute command.

Just for clarity, I will try to portray the topology below.

R1--------------------R2----------------------R3
        RIP OSPF

R2 is redistributing OSPF routes with a metric, say 5. Without summarization on the R1-R2 link, R1 is receiving all the specifics with metric 5. When summarization is done on the above said link, R1 is seeing only the summary address with a metric of 6. Is this normal?

Experts, please enlighten me.

Regards,
Binoy
