Managing metrics with the peer layer interface
The If Metrics tab indicates the metrics associated with the peer layer interface. For finer control over port-specific metric speed, you can specify the metric speed when you enable OSPF on a port or when you edit a port.
To specify the metric speed on a specific port instead of a port type:
- From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > OSPF.
| The OSPF dialog box opens with the General tab displayed. |
- Click the If Metrics tab.
| The IF Metrics tab opens. |
- Specify a new metric speed in the value field of the If Metrics tab or the metric field 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.
