Configure Global Default Metrics

Configure the metrics that OSPF uses for different link speeds. The lower the metric, the more likely that OSPF chooses the link to route an OSPF packet.

Before you begin

  • 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

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP
  2. Select OSPF.
  3. Select the General tab.
  4. Change the metric for one or all of the following:

    • 10MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 100MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 1000MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 10000MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 25000MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 40000MbpsPortDefaultMetric

    • 100000MbpsPortDefaultMetric

  5. Select Apply.
