Hi, What will effect if I use Metric two times (1 1 1 1 1 & Route-map) in redistributing from BGP into Eigrp ?
Router Eigrp 10
Redistribute BGP 200 1 1 1 1 1 Route-map RR
Route-map RR
set Metric 30

Hello Rupesh,
EIGRP seed metric requires the usage of a list of 5 parameters
so with this configuration the set metric 30 is ignored.
I also suggest to use more reasonable values like
10000 10 255 1 1500
BW delay reliability load mtu
probably EIGRP hasn't a route-map command for the 5 parameters seed values so the only valid option is to specify them in the same line.
If you specify the seed metric in a separate line it will apply to all redistribution commands in the eigrp process.
if you specify the parameters also in a line for a specific source protocol those more specific parameters override those in stand alone line.
Hope to help

Thanks, I was also thinking the same. But in all protocols you can change the Metric with Route-map link BGP into OSPF. So why Route-map will not work in this scenario.

Hello Rupesh,
as I wrote EIGRP uses a seed metric made of 5 parameters the normal command set metric xx doesn't apply to it
It is a question of implementation.
Hope to help

Thanks sir. I have 50.0.0.0, 60.0.0.0 & 70.0.0.0 in BGP advertisement. I want to redistribute it in EIGRP but with different metric like 50,60 & 70. How we can do it as we have one common seed metric in BGP into EiGRP Redistribution. Please help.

Hello Rupesh,
an update to this issue.
a set metric command for EIGRP is available in route-map configuration mode providing the set of 5 values.
Verify with this link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/iproute/command/reference/irp_eig2.html#wp1012576
so the config can be:
access-list 11 permit 50.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 12 permit 60.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 13 permit 70.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
route-map BGP-to-EIGRP permit 10
match ip address 11
set metric 10000 1000 255 1 1500
route-map BGP-to-EIGRP permit 20
match ip address 12
set metric 10000 2000 255 1 1500
route-map BGP-to-EIGRP permit 30
match ip address 13
set metric 10000 3000 255 1 1500
route-map BGP-to-EIGRP permit 40
! last empty block to be used if there are other routes to be imported usind the default seed metric.
the best choice to have different seed metric is to change the second parameter that is delay.
Hope to help

Thanks Giuseppe. You are a champion.

Hello Rupesh,
rating useful posts is enough ...:)
if you look at this thread I said something wrong before, and then after checking the command reference I realized that the set metric with 5 parameters is available in route-map config mode.
Best Regards
Giuseppe
