default-metric (OSPF)

Sets the default metric value for the OSPF routing protocol.

Synopsis default-metric metric

no default-metric

Operands metric OSPF routing protocol metric value.

Defaults The default metric value for the OSPF routing protocol is 10.

Command Modes OSPF VRF router configuration mode

Description Use this command to specify a default metric which will overwrite any incompatible metrics that

may exist when OSPF redistributes routes. Therefore, setting the default metric ensures that

neighbors will use correct cost and router computation.

Usage Guidelines Enter no default-metric to return to the default setting.

Examples To set the default metric to 20:

switch# configure

switch(config)# rbridge-id 5

switch(config-rbridge-id-5)#router ospf

switch(config-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)# default-metric 20
