The rip metricout command sets the metric that is added to the route when an interface sends a RIP packet.
The undo rip metricout command restores the additional metric to the default value.
By default, the metric that is added to the route when an interface sends a RIP packet is 1.
rip metricout { value | { acl-number | acl-name acl-name | ip-prefix ip-prefix-name } value1 }
undo rip metricout
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| value | Specifies the metric that is added to the sent route. | The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 15. By default, it is 1. |
| acl-number | Specifies the number of a basic ACL. | The value is an integer ranging from 2000 to 2999. |
| acl-name acl-name | Specifies the name of an ACL. | The value is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters without spaces. The value must start with a letter. |
| ip-prefix ip-prefix-name | Specifies the name of the IP prefix list. The name must be exclusive. | The name is a string of 1 to 169 case-sensitive characters, with spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string. |
| value1 | Specifies the metric that is added to the route that passes the filtering of the ACL or IP prefix list. | The value is an integer ranging from 2 to 15. |
When a RIP route is advertised, the additional metric is added to the route. Therefore, increasing the metric of an interface also increases the metric of the RIP route sent on the interface. However, the metric of the route in the routing table remains unchanged.
You can specify the metric to be added to the RIP route that passes the filtering of the ACL or IP prefix list by specifying value1. If a RIP route does not pass the filtering, its metric is increased by 1.
For an ACL, when the rule command is used to configure a filtering rule, the filtering rule is effective only with the source address range that is specified by the source parameter and with the time period that is specified by the time-range parameter.
