This blog was originally started to better help me understand the technologies in the CCIE R&S blueprint; after completing the R&S track I have decided to transition the blog into a technology blog.

CCIE #29033

This blog will continue to include questions, troubleshooting scenarios, and references to existing and new technologies but will grow to include a variety of different platforms and technologies. Currently I have created over 185 questions/answers in regards to the CCIE R&S track!! Note: answers are in the comment field or within "Read More" section.

i have only been able to find a reference to the "metric transparent" command when using RIP with MBGP:

Note the use of metric transparent. RIP metrics are preserved when they are advertised in MP-BGP (they are copied into the MED attribute), which ensures that these metrics are redistributed back into RIP unmodified.

Do you have a scenario using this with IGPs?

Thanks..
Garry..
