O APPLY OFFSETS TO ROUTING METRICS
An offset list is the mechanism for increasing incoming and outgoing metrics to
routes learned via RIP. Optionally, you can limit the offset list with either an access
list or an interface. An offset-list increases the value of routing metrics.
The offset-list command specifies a number to add to the metric of a route entry
and references an access-list to determine which route entries to modify. This is
explained in the example given below:
E
XAMPLE
ALU(config)# access-list 1 permit 10.33.0.0 0.0.0.0
ALU(config)#router rip
ALU(config-router rip)# network 192.168.1.0
ALU(config-router rip)# network 10.0.0.0
ALU(config-router rip)# offset-list 1 in 2 Serial0/0:1
The syntax of the offset-list says, "Examine RIP advertisements incoming from
interface Serial0/0:1. For route entries matching the addresses specified in
access-list 1, add 2 hops to the metric."
If no interface is identified, the list will modify either all incoming updates or all
outgoing updates specified by the access-list on any interface.
Command (in RCM) Description
offset-list {{<0-99>|<1300-
1999> <access-list name>}
{in|out}} {<0-16>}
[<interface-name>]
Applies an offset to the routing metrics.
no offset-list {{<0-99>|<1300-
1999> <access-list name>}
{in|out}} {<0-16>}
[<interface-name>]
The ‘no’ command disables the
configured offset-list.
