Manipulating RIP metric on N1500 series switch

Azula2,

You should be able to with the either Default-Metric, or another would be with the redistribute connected metric command. Now with them the range is only from 1-15. Just a side note though I don't think it is recommended to do so. 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response,

a few questions though, i thought the "Default-Metric" command was a global command? Wouldn't that affect the metric for all networks, including the 10.0.0.0/24

For Context:

- From R2, i would like to go to R3 (10.0.0.0/24) via R1 always, but then have everything else (All other networks ) go to R5
- From R1 i would like to go to R3 (10.0.0.0/24) using the direct connection to R3, but use the Path to R5 via R2 for all other connections.

Ideally rip would do this by default, but i just wanted to manipulate the metric to ensure those paths were always the chosen.

I just want to discourage the R1 to R3 Link, (from Both R1 and R2, unless its explicitly to the 10.0.0.0/24 network)

Thanks again

Hi @azula2,

Well, yes Default-Metric affects https://dell.to/3KlddQY. Perhaps may consider using passive interface if needed.
