The rip metricout command sets the metric that is added to the route when an interface sends a RIP packet.
The undo rip metricout command restores the additional metric to the default value.
By default, there is no metric added to the route when an interface sends a RIP packet.
rip metricout { value | { acl-number | ip-prefix ip-prefix-name } value1 }
undo rip metricout
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| value | Specifies the metric that is added to the sent route. | The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 15. By default, it is 1. |
| acl-number | Specifies the number of a basic ACL. | The value is an integer ranging from 2000 to 2999. |
| ip-prefix ip-prefix-name | Specifies the name of the IP prefix list. The name must be exclusive. | The value must be the name of an existing IP prefix list. |
| value1 | Specifies the metric that is added to the route that passes the filtering of the ACL or IP prefix list. | The value is an integer ranging from 2 to 15. |

When a RIP route is advertised, the additional metric is added to the route. Therefore, increasing the metric of an interface also increases the metric of the RIP route sent on the interface. However, the metric of the route in the routing table remains unchanged.
You can specify the metric to be added to the RIP route that passes the filtering of the ACL or IP prefix list by specifying value1. If a RIP route does not pass the filtering, its metric is increased by 1.
