Command History
Usage Guidelines This command allows you to add a fixed offset to the route metric of all incoming routes on an interface.
For example, if you set the metric-offset to 5 on an interface and the incoming route metric is 5, then
Cisco NX-OS adds the route to the route table with a metric of 10.
This command does not require a license but if you want to enable Layer 3 interfaces, you must install
the LAN Base Services license.
Examples This example shows how to configure a metric offset of 10 for all incoming RIP routes on Ethernet
interface 2/1:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# ip rip metric-offset 10
switch(config-if)#
