User Guidelines
BGP supports up to 64 networks. The network command may also be used
specify a default route (network 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0).
If a route map is configured to set attributes on the advertised routes, match
as-path and match community terms in the route map are ignored. A match
ip-address prefix-list term is honored in this context. If the route map
includes such a match term, the network is only advertised if the prefix list
permits the network prefix. If the specified route map does not exist, the
network is not advertised.
Example
console(config-router-af)#network 10.130.14.55 255.255.0.0

User Guidelines
The configured metric value is specific to the routes distributed. Use the
default-metric command to configure a default metric for all redistributed
routes.
The RIP metric is a hop count. The metric for a redistributed route limits the
distance the route can be redistributed in the RIP network. Since the
maximum valid metric in a RIP network is 15, redistributing routes into RIP
with a metric of 12 implies that the route can only be redistributed across 3
hops in the RIP network.
In general, redistributing routes from BGP into a RIP network is not
recommended.
