Viewing stub area metrics

The Stub Area Metrics tab contains the set of metrics that will be advertised by a default area border router into a stub area.

To view the set of stub area metrics:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > OSPF > Stub Area Metrics.
  2. The OSPF dialog box opens with the Stub Area Metrics tab displayed.
  3. Specify a new metric speed in the value field of the Interface Metric item or the metric item of the port OSPF tab.
  4. Click Apply.

    Note Note: When you enable a port for OSPF routing, the default metric in the port tab is "0." A value of "0" (zero) means that the port will use the default metrics for port types that are specified on the OSPF general tab.

The table below describes the Stub Area Metrics tab items.
