default-metric (EIGRP)
To set metrics for an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), use the default-metric
command. To remove the metric value and restore the default state, use the no form of this command.
default-metric bandwidth delay reliability loading mtu
no default-metric
Syntax Description
Command Default bandwidth: 100000
delay: 100 (tens of microseconds)
reliability: 255
loading: 1
Command Modes Address-family configuration mode
Router configuration mode
Router VRF configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the default-metric command with the redistribute command to use the same metric value for all
redistributed routes. A default metric helps to solve the problem of redistributing routes with
incompatible metrics. Whenever external metrics do not convert to EIGRP metrics, you can use a default
metric to provide a reasonable substitute to the external metric and enable the redistribution to proceed.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples This example shows how to take redistributed Routing Information Protocol (RIP) metrics and translate
them into EIGRP metrics with the following values: bandwidth = 1000, delay = 100, reliability = 250,
loading = 100, and MTU = 1500.
bandwidth Minimum bandwidth of the route in kilobits per second. The range is from 1
to 16777215. The default value is 100000.
delay Route delay in tens of microseconds. The range is from 1 to 16777215. The
default value is 100 (tens of microseconds).
reliability Likelihood of successful packet transmission expressed as a number between
0 and 255. The value 255 means 100-percent reliability; 0 means no
reliability. The default value is 255.
loading Effective bandwidth of the route expressed as a number from
1 to 255 (255 is 100-percent loading). The default value is 1.
mtu Minimum maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the route in bytes. The
range is from 128 to 4352.
