How a metric value assigned to a redistributed route is advertised depends on how on the configuration 
of the metric-style command. If the metric-style command is set for narrow or transition mode and the 
metric value in the redistribute command is set to a number higher than 63, the metric value advertised 
in LSPs will be 63. If the metric-style command is set for wide mode, an the metric value in the 
redistribute command is advertised.

level-1-2

Level 2 routes. 
level-2
(OPTIONAL) Routes are independently redistributed into IS-IS as Level 2

This is the default. 
metric metric-value
(OPTIONAL) The value used for the redistributed route. You should use a 
metric value that is consistent with the destination protocol. 
Range: 0 to 16777215

route-map map-name map-name is an identifier for a configured route map.
The route map should filter imported routes from the source routing protocol 
to the current routing protocol. 
If you do not specify a 
map-name, all routes are redistributed. If you 
specify a keyword, but fail to list route map tags, no routes will be imported.
