default-metric
Specifies the default metric.
Syntax: [no] default-metric number
number
Defines the default metric for the specified routing protocol
Description: The metrics of one routing protocol do no always translate to the metrics of another protocol. The default-metric command provides a substitute when metrics do not convert, allowing redistribution between routing protocols.
The table below shows the range of possible values for each routing protocol metric and the value used by each protocol.
You can override the default-metric with a specific import policy.
Use the default-metric command in conjunction with the redistribute command to cause BGP to use the same metric for all redistributed routes.
Use the no default-metric command to return to the default state.
Factory Default: Default values are encoded in the metric translations for each protocol.
Command Mode: Router configuration.
Example: In the following example, the default-metric command assigns a default metric of 4, and the show running-config bgp command displays the setting:
router(config)#router bgp 101
router(config-router)#default-metric 4
router(config-router)#end
router#show running-config bgp
!
router bgp 101
default-metric 4
