It was a little confusing to me also while reading the new practical studies book, he does state that without a default metric or metric specified in the redistribution statement the redistribution won't work, and while this is true with most protocols, I have never had to specify one, default or otherwise with OSPF. I would be interested to see if anyone has an explanation for this, is it something due to link state versus distance vector? I haven't done much ISIS, I would be curious to see if you need to specify a metric for that, since you don't with OSPF.

[7:33231] Remember, the metric on ospf is cost, the metric on rip is hops. You always need a seed metric when redistributing, I can't explain why the ospf continues to run, but thats what rip wo't work. Its the same with EigrpIGRP, no metric, no work.
