set protocols static route metric

The set protocols static route metric command configures the metric value for a static route.

Command Syntax

set protocols static [vrf <vrf-name>] route <ip-address> metric <metric-value>

Parameter

Parameter	Description
vrf <vrf-name>	Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>]. NOTE: When a VRF name is specified, find the next hop routing information from the specified VRF domain. When no VRF is specified, find the next hop routing information from the default VRF.
route <ip-address>	Specifies a destination IPv4 or IPv6 address network segment for route. For example, 192.168.1.0/24, 200::0/64
metric <metric-value>	Specifies the metric value for a static route. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 65535. A smaller value indicates a higher preference. The default value is 1.

Usage Guidelines

Setting different metrics can help implement different routing management policies. The metric for VLAN interface gateway route is 1 by default. Users can change the metric of the static route by using the command set protocols static [vrf <vrf-name>] route <ip-address> metric <metric-value>. Users can configure different metrics for different static routes according to the needs of routing priority.

Example

Set the metric value for the static route to 50.
