26.2.3 Configuring Metrics

<Structure of this section>

(1) Metric setting when advertising routing data other than RIPng

Set the metric to be used when routing information learned by another protocol is advertised by RIPng.

Points to note: To advertise OSPFv3 routes or BGP4+ routes by RIPng, you must set the metric using the default-metric command.

Command examples

(config)# ipv6 router rip

(config-rtr-rip)# default-metric 10

Sets 10 as the metric for when using RIPng to advertise routing information learned by another protocol.
(config-rtr-rip)# redistribute static

Specifies that static routes are to be advertised by RIPng.
(config-rtr-rip)# redistribute ospf

Specifies that OSPFv3 routes are to be advertised by RIPng.

Set the value by which to increment the metric for sending and receiving RIPng packets.

Points to note: The example below shows how to use the ipv6 rip metric-offset command to set the value to be added to the metric of an incoming or outgoing route via a specific interface.

Command examples

(config)# interface vlan 10

(config-if)# ipv6 rip metric-offset 2 out

Adds 2 to the metric of RIPng packets sent from interface vlan 10.
