Two things:

1) Update examples to show usage of metric
2) Discuss reasoning for using such a high metric.

 3. Set the default route for the table (and hence default route for the VRF).

+   This high metric value ensures that the default unreachable route can

+   kernel metrics as a combined admin distance (upper byte) and priority
+   (lower 3 bytes).  Thus the above metric translates to [255/8192].
