DGS-6604 mm default-metric (IPv6 OSPF) default-metric (IPv6 OSPF) To set the default metric for IPv6 OSPF, use the default-mertic command. To return the metric to its default value, use the no form of this command. default-metric METRIC-VALUE no default-metric [METRIC-VALUE] Syntax Description METRIC-VALUE Default metric value. A number from 1 to 16777214. Default Command Mode Usage Guideline Example METRIC-VALUE: 20 Router configuration The default-metric command is used in conjunction with the redistribute router configuration command (redistribute (IPv6 OSPF) command on page 505) 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 an incompatible metric. Whenever metrics do not convert, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed. The order of the setting precedence to determine the metric is: set metric in redistributed command > default-metric setting. The following example shows an IPv6 OSPF redistributing routes from RIP. All redistributed routes are advertised with a metric of 10.
