(in the exporting rip/hello section)
To announce routes which specify a next hop of the loopback interface
(i.e. static and internally generated default routes) via RIP or
HELLO, it is necessary to specify the metric at some level in the export
clause. Just setting a default metric for e.g. RIP or HELLO
is not sufficient. This is a safeguard to verify that the announcement is
intended.
