RIP command: default-metric <1-16>

RIP command: no default-metric <1-16>

This command modifies the default metric value for redistributed routes. The default value is 1. This command does not affect connected route even if it is redistributed by redistribute connected. To modify connected route’s metric value, please use redistribute connected metric or route-map. offset-list also affects connected routes.

RIP command: offset-list access-list (in|out)
