170 is the administrative distance; the metric will be based on the metric components
(as you describe below) that are used with the redistributed routes. EIGRP is the
exception for interior routing protocols that has a different administrative distance
for exterior (read: redistributed into this protocol) routes, so that routes
redistributed into EIGR will be less "believable" than routes directly learned from
another interior protocol. Nice feature if use is understood.
(And for more fun, remember that an EIGRP summary route has yet another administrative
distance, 5, to make it more likely to be used. Don't forget that the longest match
rule takes precedence though over administrative distance - longest match first, then
administrative distance then metric.)

Emilia,
Simply to clarify things a bit. No, the 170 is the eigrp
metric.. that is calculated using five values(bandwidth, delay, reliability,
loading, and MTU) this is a 32-bit number used to calculate the metric for a
route which is how eigrp knows which path is the best route and it also give
you the flexibility to manually adjust the metric to make routing decisions.
The 90 is the administrative distance for the EIGRP.

Nigel..
