set metric
Use this command to set a metric value for a route and influence external neighbors about the preferred path into an Autonomous System (AS). The preferred path is the one with a lower metric value. A router compares metrics for paths from neighbors in the same ASs. To compare metrics from neighbors coming from different ASs, use the bgp always-compare-med command.
To use this command, you must first have a match clause. Match and set commands set the conditions for redistributing routes from one routing protocol to another. The match command specifies the match criteria under which redistribution is allowed for the current route-map. The set command specifies the set redistribution actions to be performed, if the match criteria are met.
If the packets do not match any of the defined criteria, they are routed through the normal routing process.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable this function.
