Cisco Cisco Packet Data Gateway (PDG)
default-metric
Configures the default metric value for the OSPF routing protocol. All OSPF interfaces have a cost, which is
a routing metric that is used in the link-state calculation. Routes with lower total path metrics are preferred
over those with higher path metrics. When several equal-cost routes to a destination exist, traffic is distributed
equally among them. The default metric is a global parameter that specifies the cost applied to all OSPF routes
by default.
