# set metric-type

#### Syntax

set metric-type atMetric

no set metric-type

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

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

#### Options

- 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
