set metric-type

Description: 

Sets the metric type for the destination routing protocol. The no version removes the set clause from a route map.

Syntax: 

set metric-type atMetric

no set metric-type

• atMetric—Specifies the metric type from the following choices:

For BGP:

• external—Reverts to the normal BGP rules for propagating the MED; this is the BGP default
• internal—Sets the MED of a received route that is being propagated to an external peer equal to the IGP cost of the indirect next hop

For IS-IS:

• external—Only the metric of the route itself is considered for comparison
• internal—Both the metric of the route and the cost to the router that advertised the route are considered for comparison; this is the IS-IS default

For OSPF:

• 1—Cost of the external routes is equal to the sum of all internal costs and the external cost
• 2—Cost of the external routes is equal to the external cost alone; this is the OSPF default
