The ripng metricout command sets the metric that is added to the RIPng route sent by an interface.
The undo ripng metricout command restores the default setting.
By default, the metric that is added to the RIPng route sent by an interface is 1.
ripng metricout { value | { acl6-number | acl6-name acl6-name | ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name } value1 }
undo ripng metricout
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| value | Specifies the metric added to a sent route. | The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 15. The default value is 1. |
| acl6-number | Specifies the number of a basic IPv6 ACL. | The value is an integer ranging from 2000 to 2999. |
| acl6-name acl6-name | Specifies the name of a named IPv6 ACL. | The name is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters without spaces. |
| ipv6-prefix ipv6-prefix-name | Specifies the name of an IPv6 prefix list. | 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 added to the route matching the IPv6 prefix list. | The value is an integer that ranges from 2 to 15. |
An interface adds a metric to a route before advertising the route. Therefore, increasing the metric of an interface also increases the metric of the RIPng routes sent by the interface. The metric of the route in the routing table, however, remains unchanged.
Before running the ripng metricout command on an interface, run the ipv6 enable command to enable IPv6 on the interface.
