used is specific to the protocol.

metric-type type-value

(Optional) External link type associated with the default route

advertised into the OSPF routing domain. It can be one of the

following values:

1—Type 1 external route

2—Type 2 external route

The default is type 2 external route.

Command Mode

Router configuration


Usage

Whenever you use the redistribute or the default-information router configuration command to edistribute

routes into an OSPF routing domain, the switch automatically becomes an utonomous System Boundary

Router (ASBR). However, an ASBR does not, by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing

domain. The software still must have a default route for itself before t generates one, except when you

have specified the always keyword.


Examples

The following example specifies a metric of 100 for the default route redistributed into the OSPF routing

domain and an external metric type of Type 1:

router ospf 109

redistribute rip metric 100

default-information originate metric 100 metric-type 1
