Setting Default Metrics

To set the default metric of distributed routes, enter:
ProCurve(config-router)#default-metric <number>

Defining Administrative Distance

The administrative distance is a metric used to determine the best path to use
when more than one route to the same destination exists but in different
routing protocols. For the 8100fl switch, administrative distance is a number
between 0 and 255. The lower the value, the more preferable the route.
To specify the size of the administrative distance, enter:
ProCurve(config-router)#distance <number>
To revert to the default distance (this is, 100), enter:
ProCurve(config-router)#no distance

Filtering Updates

You can manage the amount of update information the ProCurve 8100fl
receives by filtering routing updates by source gateway, by prefix, and by
access list.
For filtering on access lists, you must further specify the direction (in or out)
and the interface. For filtering on a prefix, you must specify the gateway, the
direction, and the interface. For filtering on a gateway, you just need to specify
the direction and the interface affected.

Limiting Updates

To suppress updates on a specified interface, enter:
ProCurve(config-router)#passive-interface <interface>
