Default Not congured
Command Mode ROUTE-MAP
Usage Information To establish an absolute metric, do not enter a plus or minus sign before the metric value. To establish a relative
metric, enter a plus or minus sign immediately preceding the metric value. The value is added to or subtracted from
the metric of any routes matching the route map. You cannot use both an absolute metric and a relative metric
within the same route map sequence. Setting either metric overrides any previously congured value. The no
version of this command removes the lter.
Example (Absolute)
OS10(conf-route-map)# set metric 10
Example (Relative)
OS10(conf-route-map)# set metric -25
Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later
set metric-type
Set the metric type for the a redistributed routel.
Syntax
set metric-type {type-1 | type-2 | external}
Parameters
• type-1 — Adds a route to an existing community.
• type-2 — Sends a route in the local AS.
• external — Disables advertisement to peers.
Default Not congured
Command Mode ROUTE-MAP
Usage Information
• BGP
Aects BGP behavior only in outbound route maps and has no eect on other types of route maps. If the route
map contains both a set metric-type and a set metric clause, the set metric clause takes
precedence. If you enter the internal metric type in a BGP outbound route map, BGP sets the MED of the
advertised routes to the IGP cost of the next hop of the advertised route. If the cost of the next hop changes,
BGP is not forced to readvertise the route.
–
external — Reverts to the normal BGP rules for propagating the MED, the default.
– internal — Sets the MED of a received route that is being propagated to an external peer equal to the
IGP costs of the indirect next hop.
• OSPF
– external — Sets the cost of the external routes so that it is equal to the sum of all internal costs and
the external cost.
– internal — Sets the cost of the external routes so that it is equal to the external cost alone, the default.
The no version of this command removes the set clause from a route map.
Example
OS10(conf-route-map)# set metric-type internal
