ROUTE MAP COMMANDS
SET
METRIC
set metric
Overview Use this command to add a metric set clause to a route map entry.
When a routeor BGP update message matches the route map entry, the device
takes one of the following actions:
• changes the metric(or for BGP, the MED attribute value) to the specified
value, or
• adds or subtracts the specified value from the metricor MED attribute, if you
specify +or- before the value (for example, to increase the metric by 2, enter
+2)
Use the no variant of this command to remove the set clause.
Syntax
set metric {+<metric-value>|-<metric-value>|<metric-value>}
no set metric [+<metric-value>|-<metric-value> | <metric-value>]
Default The default metric value for routes redistributed into OSPF and OSPFv3 is 20.
Mode Route-map Configuration
Usage For BGP, if you want the device to compare MED values in update messages from
peers in different ASes, also enter the command bgp always-compare-med. The
device always compares MED values in update messages from peers in the same
AS.
This command is valid for:
•OSPF routes
• routes in BGP update messages
•RIP routes.
Note that defining the OSPF metric in a route map supersedes the metric defined
using a redistribute (OSPF) or a redistribute (IPv6 OSPF) command. For more
information, see the OSPFv3 Feature Overview and Configuration Guide and the
OSPF Feature Overview and Configuration Guide.

to increase or decrease the existing value.
