Configure OSPF Interface Metrics
Configure the metrics associated with the peer layer interface to control OSPF behavior. For finer control over port-specific metric speed, you can specify the metric speed when you configure OSPF on a port.
Before you begin
Enable OSPF globally.
Ensure that the interface uses an IP address.
Change the VRF instance as required to configure OSPF on a specific VRF instance. The VRF must have an RP trigger of OSPF. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.
Procedure
If Metrics Field Descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the If Metrics tab.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
IP Address |
Specifies the IP address of the device used to represent a point of attachment in a TCP/IP internetwork. |
AddressLessIf |
Indicates addressed and addressless interfaces. This variable is 0 on interfaces with IP addresses and equals ifIndex for interfaces that have no IP address. |
TOS |
Specifies the type of service (TOS). The TOS is a mapping to the IP type of service flags as defined in the IP forwarding table management information base (MIB). |
Value |
Indicates the metric from the OSPF router to a network in the range. |
Status |
Specifies the status of the interface as active or not active. This variable is read-only. |
