Hi all,
I wasn't able to find any answer to my question, so i hope you can help me.
My question is :
Why we always need to define metric when redistributing static routes with VRF-Lite ?
The only information i found is : "Only connected routes can be redistributed without a default metric. The metric of redistributed connected routes is set to 0."
I will appreciate if you have anymore explanations.
Thanks for all.
Best regards,

Alexandre,
I do not believe that the requirement for specifying the so-called seed metric is specific for VRF-lite. The following rules apply for all redistributions, both within the global routing table and within VRFs:
A couple of other rules govern the redistribution that involves BGP either as a source or destination routing protocol, but in order to keep things simple, I am not going to discuss these rules here.
Best regards,
Peter
