CanogaOS Command Reference
15-11
Built-in, automatic metric translations, as appropriate for each routing protocol. The metric of
redistributed connected and static routes is set to 0.
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 router in autonomous system using both the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP) and the OSPF routing protocols. The example advertises OSPF-derived routes using RIP
and assigns the Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP)-derived routes a RIP metric of 10.

To define Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) route administrative distances based on route type, use the
distance command in router configuration mode. To restore the default value, use the no form of this
command.
Command Syntax
distance {distance | ospf [external dist1] [inter-area dist2] | [intra-area dist3]}
no distance {distance | ospf}
distance Administrative distance. An integer from 1 to 255. (Routes with a
distance value of 255 are not installed in the routing table.)
external dist1 (Optional) Sets the distance for routes from other routing domains,
learned by redistribution. Range is 1 to 255. The default value is 110.
inter-area dist2 (Optional) Sets the distance for all routes from one area to another
area. Range is 1 to 255. The default value is 110.
intra-area dist3 (Optional) Sets the distance for all routes within an area. Range is 1 to
255. The default value is 110.
Default
dist1: 110
