SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual 31 - 7
rip set default-metric
Purpose
Defines the metric used when advertising routes via RIP that were learned from other
protocols. If not specified, the default value is 16 (unreachable). This choice of values
requires you to explicitly specify a metric in order to export routes from other protocols
into RIP. This metric may be overridden by a metric specified in the export command.
Note:
The metric 16 is equivalent in RIP to “infinite” and makes a route unreach-
able. You must set the default metric to a value other than 16 in order to
allow the SSR to export routes from other protocols such as OSPF and
BGP-4 into RIP.
