Hi guys,

I have a question :

redistribute static metric 20 metric-type 1 subnets route-map xxx

network 10.2.4.253 0.0.0.3 area 0
network 10.223.253.2 0.0.0.3 area 3

What does metric 20 and network 10.2.4.253 0.0.0.3 area 0 means ?

Any help or comment will be greatly appreciated.

The syntax of the "redistribute" command can be found at the link below:

"metric 20" means when redistributing the routes learnt from another routing protocol, the metric value to be assigned to the routes is 20.

"10.2.4.253 0.0.0.3 area 0" defines the interfaces on which OSPF runs (interfaces with IP addresses within the range 10.2.4.253 - 10.2.4.254, i.e. subnet 10.2.4.252/30). The area ID for those interfaces is 0. The syntax of the "network" command can be found at:
