What difference does it make when I say "default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1550" instead of the above.
answer: EIGRP uses a composite metric so you would be changing the bandwidth (10000) and MTU (1550) for routes from ospf that were redistributed into EIGRP. All the metric does is set a base metric to start from. Since a redistributed route did not originate from that router then it does not have a metric to assign to it and therefore can not run DUAL (or SPF for ospf) hence you have to assign a metric to that route so that the route has metrics associated with it. I hope this helps and if I was incorrect about anything then someone else please correct me. - Brian Clark -----Original Message----- From: Rajesh Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Redistribution metrics. [7:55297] Hi all, Everytime I get confused with this metrics while redistribution : The scenario is this : 1. Redist from OSPF to EIGRP. router eigrp 1 redis ospf 1 default-metric 1544 100 255 1 1500 router ospf 1 redis eigrp 1 subnets default-metric 25 What difference does it make when I say "default-metric 10000 100 255 1 1550" instead of the above. Does the metrics points to the destination interface ( metrics ) where it is redistributed into OR it points where the routes are originated from ( ethernet interface or serial int )?
