ip dvmrp metric
Use this command to configure the metric value on the current interface.
ip dvmrp metric METRIC
Default 1
Command Mode VLAN interface configuration
Usage Guideline This command is only valid for the VLAN interface.
For each source network reported, a route metric is associated with the route
being reported. The metric is the sum of the interface metric between the router
originating the report and the source network. DVMRP uses the infinite or
unreachable metric which is defined to be 32. This limits the breadth across the
entire DVMRP network and is necessary to place an upper boundary on the
convergence time of the protocol.
By default, a metric value of 1 is associated with each DVMRP route. Use the
command to modify the metric value.
Example This example shows how to change the metric value to 2 of an interface.
Verify the settings by the show ip dvmrp interface command.
Syntax Description
METRIC It can be a value from 1 to 31. A value of 32 sets the route metric to infinite or
unreachable.
Switch(config)# interface vlan1
