You can use "metric <value>" parameter on the redistribute command itself.

e.g. "redistribute ospf 1 metric 0"

You can also use the "default-metric" command under the BGP process,
but this does not override the value (if set) by the redistribution
command (either as part of the redistribute command, or via a
route-map using set-metric).

I'm not aware of any other "don't copy the IGP metric when
redistributing into BGP" command but that doesn't mean it doesn't
exist :-)

Does that help?

cheers,
Dale
