4-2 default-metric metricSyntax Description:
Purpose: To assign a metric or MED to routes that are redistributed into BGP. There are three methods for assigning the metric or MED for redistributed routes. The first is to not assign a metric when redistributing routes into BGP. If a metric value is not assigned, the value 0 is applied to the metric for redistributed routes. This occurs when you use the redistribute command with no metric assignment (see section 10-1). The second method is to assign a metric or MED value when redistributing a protocol into BGP (see section 10-2). The third method uses the default-metric command to assign a metric or MED to redistributed routes that have not had their metric value assigned by the redistribute command:
Cisco IOS Software Release: 10.0 Configuration Example: Assigning Metrics to Redistributed RoutesIn Figure 4-2, Router B is redistributing OSPF and static routes into BGP. The OSPF routes are assigned a metric of 5 using the redistribute ospf 1 metric 5 command. The static routes are assigned a metric of 0 because we are not using the default-metric command or assigning a metric with the redistribute command. Figure 4-2. Assigning Metrics to Redistributed Routes

Now modify the BGP configuration on Router B and assign a default metric of 10: Router B router bgp 2 redistribute static redistribute ospf 1 metric 5 neighbor 172.17.1.2 remote-as 1 default-metric 10 no auto-summary VerificationVerify that the default metric has been applied only to the static route and not to the OSPF routes: rtrB# show ip bgp BGP table version is 5, local router ID is 172.16.2.1 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path *> 10.1.1.0/30 0.0.0.0 0 32768 ? *> 172.16.2.0/24 0.0.0.0 0 32768 ? *> 198.8.4.128/25 0.0.0.0 10 32768 ? *> 205.40.30.128/25 10.1.1.2 5 32768 ?
