API Guide

Parameters number — Enter a number as the metric to assign to routes from other protocols, from 1 to
4294967295.
Default Disabled
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
Assigns a metric for locally-originated routes such as redistributed routes. After you redistribute routes in
BGP, use this command to reset the metric value — the new metric does not immediately take effect.
The new metric takes effect only after you disable and re-enable route redistribution for a specified
protocol. To re-enable route distribution use the redistribute {connected [route-map map-
name] | ospf process-id | static [route-map map-name]} command, or use the clear
ip bgp * command after you reset BGP. The no version of this command removes the default metric
value.
Example (IPv4)
OS10(conf-router-bgpv4-af)# default-metric 60
Example (IPv6)
OS10(conf-router-bgpv6-af)# default-metric 60
