Re: Metric Reducing in RIP

Hi guys

I believe you can achieve this with PBR as such:

R1(config-route-map)#set metric ?
  +/-<metric> Add or subtract metric
  <0-4294967295> Metric value or Bandwidth in Kbits per second
  <cr>

#show route-map RIP
route-map RIP, permit, sequence 10
  Match clauses:
    ip address (access-lists): 101
  Set clauses:
    metric -10

So just match the traffic with tags or ACL (UDP/520 for RIPv2 IPv4, RIPv2
has no protocol ID) and manipulate the metric with a route-map.
