To return to the default values, use the no isis metric [default-metric] [level-1 |
level-2] command.

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 congured 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
eective.
level-1 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords level-1 to congure the shortest path rst
