Network Area - SMC Networks SMC6724L3 Management Manual

• Metric type specifies the way to advertise routes to destinations outside
the AS via External LSAs. Specify Type 1 to add the internal cost
metric to the external route metric. In other words, the cost of the
route from any router within the AS is equal to the cost associated with
reaching the advertising ASBR, plus the cost of the external route.
Specify Type 2 to only advertise the external route metric.
Example
This example redistributes routes learned from RIP as Type 1 external
routes.
Console(config-router)#redistribute rip metric-type 1
Console(config-router)#
