rip metricin

Function

The rip metricin command sets the metric that is added to the routes carried in received RIP packets.

The undo rip metricin command restores the default metric.

By default, the metric is 0.

Format

rip metricin value

rip metricin { { aclNumber | acl-name aclName } metricInVal }

rip metricin { ip-prefix ip-prefix-name metricInVal }

undo rip metricin

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
value	Specifies the metric that is added to received routes.	The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 15. Its default value is 0.
aclNumber	Specifies the basic ACL number.	The value is an integer ranging from 2000 to 2999.
acl-name aclName	Specifies the name of a named basic ACL.	The value is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters without spaces. The value must start with a letter (a to z or A to Z, case sensitive).
metricInVal	Specifies the metric that is added to the routes that match the ACL or IP prefix list.	The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 15.
ip-prefix ip-prefix-name	Specifies an IP 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.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When an interface receives a route, RIP adds the interface metric to the route, and then adds the route to the routing table. Therefore, increasing the interface metric also increases the metric of RIP routes received by the interface.

You can specify the metric to be added to the RIP routes that match the ACL or IP prefix list. If a RIP route fails to match the ACL or IP prefix list, the metric is not added to the route.

Configuration Impact

If the metric of a route is greater than 16 after the configured value is added, 16 is used as its metric.

NOTE:

If the route is unreachable after the rip metricin command is run, run the undo rip metricin command to restore the default value.

Example

# Increase the metric of the RIP routes that match ACL 2000 by 10.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] acl 2000
[*HUAWEI-acl4-basic-2000] quit
[*HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] rip metricin 2000 10

# Increase the metric of the RIP routes received by Gigabit Ethernet 0/1/0 by 12.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[~HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] rip metricin 12
