rip metricout

Function

The rip metricout command sets the metric that is added to the RIP routes sent by an interface.

The undo rip metricout command restores the default metric.

By default, the metric is 1.

Format

rip metricout value

rip metricout { { acl-number | acl-name acl-name } value1 }

rip metricout { ip-prefix ip-prefix-name value1 }

undo rip metricout

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
value	Specifies the metric that is added to the routes to be advertised.	The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 15.
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 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).
value1	Increases the metric of a route that matches the ACL or ip-prefix.	The value is an integer ranging from 2 to 15.
ip-prefix ip-prefix-name	Specifies the name of 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

To set the metric that is added to the RIP routes sent by an interface, run the rip metricout command. You can specify an ACL or IP prefix list so that the metric is added to only the RIP routes that matches the ACL or IP prefix list.

Configuration Impact

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 routes sent by the interface. However, the metrics of the routes in the routing table remain unchanged.

Example

# Increase the metric of the RIP routes that match the IP prefix list named p1 by 12.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] ip ip-prefix p1 permit 10.10.10.1 24
[*HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] rip metricout ip-prefix p1 12

# Increase the metric of the RIP routes that match ACL 2050 by 12.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] acl 2050
[*HUAWEI-acl4-basic-2050] quit
[*HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] rip metricout 2050 12

# Increase the metric of the sent RIP routes by 12.

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