interface metric

For CoreBuilder 9000: Applies to Layer 3 switching modules only.

Modifies the DVMRP metric on an interface for which DVMRP is enabled.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

ip m d i m

Important Considerations

Use this command if you want to modify the metric value of 1 that the
system assigns to an interface when you define it, even if DVMRP is
not yet enabled.

The metric affects the shape of the IP multicast spanning tree when
there are multiple paths to the same downstream destination. The
lower cost path is the preferred path.
