max-metric
Use this command to advertise a maximum cost i.e 65535 for the LSA's that the router generates. This feature can be configured for in a router-LSA, summary-LSA, external-LSA and stub links.
It also provides support to configure an on-startup time. On-startup time is a one-time event which occurs when the node is up initially. The time configured will be the duration till which the router advertises its LSA’s with the maximum cost.
Based on the metric that is advertised, the neighboring OSPF routers re-trigger their SPF's, and calculate routes that don't pass through the new router.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove the configuration.
