 It isn't have to configure the command "default-metric" when redistribute the static routes
and the connected routes. The related parameter(such as: bandwidth, delay, reliability , load
and MTU ) is attained from the related interface.
 It isn't necessary to configure the command "default-metric" when redistribute the routes
of other beigrp process. The related parameter is attained from the BEIGRP process
redistributed.
 It is necessary to configure the command "default-metric" when redistribute the routes of
others protocol (such as: rip, ospf). The related parameter is validated by the
configuration of "default-metric". If we redistribute the routes of these types without the
command "default-metric", the redistribution doesn't work.
In a router running the BEIGRP protocol and the RIP protocol, the following commands must be configured
when we need obtain the routes from RIP protocol to BEIGRP protocol.

59.2.8 Configuring Other Parameters of BEIGRP
In order to adapt to different network environments, and to make BEIGRP be more effectively and fully
functions, we may need to adjust the following parameters:
 Adjust the time interval of BEIGRP to send “hello” messages and the timeout death time of
the neighbours
 Turn off split-horizon
