set metric
Set a metric value for a routing protocol.
Syntax
set metric [+ | -] metric-value
Parameters
● + — (Optional) Add a metric value to the redistributed routes.
● - — (Optional) Subtract a metric value from the redistributed routes.
● metric-value — Enter a new metric value, from 0 to 4294967295.
Default Not configured
Command Mode ROUTE-MAP
Usage
Information
To establish an absolute metric, do not enter a plus or minus sign before the metric value. To establish a
relative metric, enter a plus or minus sign immediately preceding the metric value. The value is added to
or subtracted from the metric of any routes matching the route map. You cannot use both an absolute
metric and a relative metric within the same route map sequence. Setting either metric overrides any
previously configured value. The no version of this command removes the filter.
Example
(Absolute)
OS10(conf-route-map)# set metric 10
Example
(Relative)
OS10(conf-route-map)# set metric -25

set metric-type
Set the metric type for the a redistributed routel.
Syntax
set metric-type {type-1 | type-2 | external}
Parameters
● type-1 — Adds a route to an existing community.
● type-2 — Sends a route in the local AS.
● external — Disables advertisement to peers.
Default Not configured
Command Mode ROUTE-MAP
Usage
Information
● BGP
Affects BGP behavior only in outbound route maps and has no effect on other types of route maps.
If the route map contains both a set metric-type and a set metric clause, the set metric
clause takes precedence. If you enter the internal metric type in a BGP outbound route map, BGP
sets the MED of the advertised routes to the IGP cost of the next hop of the advertised route. If the
cost of the next hop changes, BGP is not forced to readvertise the route.
○ external — Reverts to the normal BGP rules for propagating the MED, the default.
○ internal — Sets the MED of a received route that is being propagated to an external peer equal
to the IGP costs of the indirect next hop.
● OSPF
○ external — Sets the cost of the external routes so that it is equal to the sum of all internal
costs and the external cost.
○ internal — Sets the cost of the external routes so that it is equal to the external cost alone,
the default.
The no version of this command removes the set clause from a route map.
