Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to specify the metric type to be used for traffic engineering (TE) tunnels for which
th
e tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric command has not been specified.
The metric type to be used for path calculation for a given tunnel is determined as follows:
• If the tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric command was entered to specify a metric type
for the tunnel, use that metric type.
• Otherwise, if the mpls traffic-eng path-selection metric was entered to specify a metric type, use
that metric type.
• Otherwise, use the default (te) metric.
Examples The following command specifies that if a metric type was not specified for a given TE tunnel, the igp
m
etric should be used for tunnel path calculation:
igp Use the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metric.
te Use the traffic engineering metric.
