ipv6 rip metric-offset

Changes the metric for RIPng routes learned and advertised on an interface.
Syntax
ipv6 rip metric-offset value
ipv6 rip metric-offset out value
no ipv6 rip metric-offset value
no ipv6 rip metric-offset out value
Command Default

By default, an IPv6 RIP interface adds 1 to the metric of an incoming RIPng route that it learns. By default, the interface advertises RIPng routes without adding to the metric (that is, with a default offset of zero).

Parameters
out
Specifies that the metric offset applies to outgoing (advertised) RIPng routes.
value
A decimal value that represents the offset to be added. The range is 1 through 16 for incoming routes and 0 through 15 for outgoing routes.
Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use the no form of these commands to return the metric offset to its default value, that is, 1 for incoming (learned) routes and 0 for outgoing (advertised) routes.

Examples

The following example increases the metric on learned RIPng routes by 2. The same interface increases the metric offset by 3 when it advertises a RIPng route. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 3/1/1
device(config-if-e1000-3/1/1)# ipv6 rip metric-offset 2
device(config-if-e1000-3/1/1)# ipv6 rip metric-offset out 3
