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