The Branch Gateway enables you to configure the metric to be used in updates that are redistributed from one routing protocol to another.

In RIP, the default is 1 and the maximum value is 16. In OSPF, the default is 20.

Set the default metric value before redistribution, using the default-metric command from within the Router RIP or Router OSPF contexts. This value is used for all types of redistributed routes, regardless of the protocol from which the route was learned.
