bandwidth-based-metrics (Protocols OSPF)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify a set of bandwidth threshold values and associated metric values for an OSPF interface or for a topology on an OSPF interface. When the bandwidth of an interface changes, Junos OS automatically sets the interface metric to the value associated with the appropriate bandwidth threshold value.

Options

bandwidth value—Specify the bandwidth threshold in bits per second.

  • Range: 9600 through 1,000,000,000,000,000

metric number—Specify a metric value to associate with a specific bandwidth value.

  • Range: 1 through 65,535

Note:

You must also configure a static metric value for the OSPF interface or topology with the metric statement. Junos OS uses this value to calculate the cost of a route from the OSPF interface or topology if the bandwidth for the interface is higher than of any bandwidth threshold values configured for bandwidth-based metrics.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.

Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.5.
