Parameters
default-metric Metric assigned to the link and used to calculate the cost from each other router

for Level 1 or Level 2 routing. The range is from 0 to 16777215 irrespective of the
metric style. The default is 10.
If metric value is configured to more than 63, system throughs the following
warning:Warning: for metrics greater than 63, 'metric-style
wide' should be configured on level-1-2, or it will be
capped at 63.
If the metric style is WIDE, the metric values that are greater than 63 are only
effective.
level-1 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords level-1 to configure the shortest path first
(SPF) calculation for Level 1 (intra-area) routing. This setting is the default.
