mpls te metric


Sets the traffic engineering metric value for this interface.

Syntax: mpls te metric metric

metric

Specifies the traffic engineering metric for this interface. Valid value: 1 - 16777215 metric style wide or 1 - 63 metric style narrow (IS-IS only). Default: 20.

Description: A metric is a cost you assign to an interface that is used during path computation to indicate the relative preference of one interface over another in the creation of an MPLS tunnel. You use the traffic engineering metric to identify the relative preference between interfaces during tunnel creation, when there are multiple alternative interfaces. If an IGP route's lowest cost is via an attached MPLS-TE tunnel and all links along the way are TE enabled, IPriori converts the route to MPLS. This command should not be confused with configuring metrics that cause traffic to prefer one already existing tunnel over another.

Use the mpls te metric command in interface configuration mode to set the interface metric for this interface.

Use the no mpls te metric command to reset the metric to the default value.

Factory Default: 20.

Command Mode: Interface Configuration.

Example: The following command sets the metric for the pos 1/1/1 interface, for a router with a global metric style configured as wide, at a cost of 100:

router(config)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#mpls te metric 100

router(config-if)#end

router#
