default-metric
Use this command to specify the metrics to be assigned to redistributed routers.
This command is used in conjunction with the redistribute command to make the routing protocol use the specified metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric is useful in redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Every protocol has different metrics and can not be compared directly. Default metric provides the standard to compare. All routes that are redistributed will use the default metric.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable this feature.
