Parameters
route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies the name of a routing policy used to add an additional metric
for the routes matching it. The name is a string of 1 to 63 case-sensitive characters.
value: Adds an additional metric to received routes, in the range of 0 to 16.
Usage guidelines
When a valid RIP route is received, the system adds a metric to it and then installs it into the routing table.
The metric of the route received on the configured interface is then increased. If the sum of the additional
metric and the original metric is greater than 16, the metric of the route will be 16.
If a routing policy is referenced with the route-policy keyword, the following operations can be
performed:
• Routes matching the policy are added with the metric specified in the apply cost command
configured in the policy. Routes not matching it are added with the metric specified in the rip
metricin command. The metric specified in the rip metricin command cannot be changed by using
the + or – keyword—used to add or reduce a metric—specified in the apply cost command. For
more information about the apply cost command, see "Routing policy configuration commands."
• If the apply cost command is not configured in the policy, all the advertised routes are added with
the metric specified in the rip metricin command.
