Forgot Redistribution Metrics?

by David Sudjiman ~ January 9th, 2007. Filed under: Cisco.

If you happen to forget the metrics while you’re doing your redistribution between different routing protocols, just do the sh int <interface>

r1#sh int s0
Serial0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is HD64570
  Internet address is 131.108.3.1/24
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Last input 00:00:08, output 00:00:08, output hang never
  Last clearing of “show interface” counters 00:36:12
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
     211 packets input, 14840 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 196 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
     209 packets output, 15212 bytes, 0 underruns
     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 17 interface resets
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
     1 carrier transitions
     DCD=up  DSR=up  DTR=up  RTS=up  CTS=up

See that?

    Hi david,

    I was reading/thiniking about the metric of IGRP/EIGRP.
    Some books (CCNA of Wendell Odom for example) add MTU whith other metrics (Bandwidth, Delay, Relay and Load). And others said it is a big mistake to include MTU.

    What is your opinion ?

    Thanks in advance.
