BSR 64000 Configuration and Management Guide
11-16
metric is the metric for generating the default route; default is 10; valid values
are from 0 to 16777214.
metric-value is the OSPF link state metric value; valid entries are 1 or 2.
Example
The following example specifies a metric of 100 for the default route redistributed
into the OSPF routing domain and an external metric type of Type 1:
router ospf
redistribute rip metric 100 subnets
default-information originate always metric 100 metric-type1
Controlling OSPF Link Cost Metrics
The BSR OSPF routing process calculates the OSPF cost metric for an interface
according to the bandwidth of this interface. The cost of an interface depends on the
type of interface. The OSPF cost metric is calculated as the reference bandwidth
divided by the bandwidth of the interface.
Use the auto-cost reference-bandwidth command in Router Configuration mode to
set the automatic cost metric that the OSPF routing process uses to differentiate the
cost of multiple high-bandwidth links, as shown below:
MOT(config-ospf)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth <ref-bw>
where:
ref-bw is a value from 1 to 4292967 Mbps.
Allowing Dynamic OSPF Virtual Links
Automatic detection and creation of OSPF links is disabled by default. Use the
auto-virtual-link command in Router Configuration mode if you want to allow the
OSPF routing process on the BSR to automatically detect and create OSPF virtual
links.
MOT(config-ospf)#auto-virtual-link
