ipv6 rip interface metric IPv6 Commands

ipv6 rip interface metric

Configures the RIPng metric or cost for a specified interface. You can set priorities for routes generated by a switch by assigning a metric value to routes generated by that switch’s RIPng interface. For example, routes generated by a neighboring switch may have a hop count of 1. However, you can lower the priority of routes generated by that switch by increasing the metric value for routes generated by the RIPng inter- face.
