set metric-type
Sets the metric type to give redistributed routes.
Syntax: set metric-type {internal|external|type-1|type-2}
no set metric-type
internal
IS-IS internal metric.
external
IS-IS external metric.
type-1
OSPF external type 1 metric.
type-2
OSPF external type 2 metric.
Description: Use the set metric-type command to set the metric type for the destination routing protocol.
Use the no set metric-type command to use the default metric type for this route.
Route maps consist of sets of match and set commands. Match commands define the match criteria for route maps. Routes that match one or more match criteria are processed according to the actions defined by the set commands. Routes that do not match at least one of the match criteria in the route map are ignored.
Use the route-map command to create a route map. Use the various match and set commands to define the conditions for redistributing routes between protocols or instances of the same protocol.
Metrics are values that the router uses to tell receiving routers how far away a destination is. Different routing protocols use metrics in different ways. Therefore, it is necessary to let BGP know what type of metric is represented by metric-value.
Factory Default: No metric-type defined.
Command Mode: Route map configuration.
Example: In the following example, routes advertised to external neighbor 10.5.1.121 have the metric type set to external type 2.
- The route-map command creates a route map named set-type.
- The set metric-type command sets the metric-type for matching routes to type 2.
- The router bgp command enables BGP and assigns the router to autonomous system 56.
- The neighbor remote-as command identifies a external neighbor 10.5.1.121.
- The neighbor route-map command applies the route map to outbound route updates to neighbor 10.5.1.121.
router(config)#route-map set-type permit 10
