Moving to transition and then to another metric style produces different results (Table 23-6).

wide transition narrow default value (10) if the original value is greater than
63.
A message is sent to the console.

63.
A message is sent to the console.
wide transition transition truncated value (the truncated value appears in the
LSP only.)
The original isis metric value is displayed in the
show config and show running-config commands
and is used if you change back to transition metric
style.
1 a truncated value is a value that is higher than 63, but set back to 63 because the higher value is not supported.
