DGS-3630 Series Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide Parameter Default Metric Type Description Enter the default metric value for the OSPF process here. The range is from 1 to 16777214. By default, this value is 20. This value is used in conjunction with the OSPFv3 redistribution feature to enable the current routing protocol to use the same metric value for all redistributed routes. A default metric helps solve the problem of redistributing routes with incompatible metrics. Whenever the metrics don't convert directly, using a default metric provides a reasonable substitute and enables the redistribution to proceed. Select the distance type here. Options to choose from are Intra-Area, Inter-Area, and External. • Intra-Area - Specifies the distance for OSPF intra-area routes. • Inter-Area - Specifies the distance for OSPF inter-area routes. • External - Specifies the distance for OSPF external routes. Distance Auto Bandwidth Enter the distance value for the OSPF process here. The range is from 1 to 254. By default, this value is 110 for all OSPF routes. Enter the auto-bandwidth value here. This feature is used to control the reference value IPv6 OSPF uses when calculating metrics for interfaces. The range is from 1 to 4294967. Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.
