Route metrics
Route Metric settings can be set to override the order in which the routes are searched.
Routes with lower metric numbers will always be used in preference to routes with higher metric 
numbers even if the routes with higher metric numbers appear first in the routing table.
Route metrics can be configured by means of the following route parameters:
• Connected Metric
• Disconnected Metric
Route metrics can be altered automatically according to various circumstances. This allows for 
automatic backup connection paths.
Routes and interfaces can be put out of service.
Whenever an interface is out of service (OOS), any route pointing at the interface will also be out 
of service.
Whenever a route is out of service, the metric value will be set to 16 in TransPort routing mode 
and 17 in CIDR mode.
