CanogaOS Command Reference
14-2
Default
Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol.
Command Mode
Router configuration
Usage
The Default -metric command is used in conjunction with the redistribute router configuration
command to cause the current routing protocol to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes.
A default metric helps solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever
metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the
redistribution to proceed.
Examples
The following example shows a switch using both the RIP and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
routing protocols. The example advertises OSPF-derived routes using RIP and assigns the
OSPF-derived routes a RIP metric of 10.
