Figure 60 IP Routing Policies

Incoming traffic

Figure 60 shows the first level of decision-making in routing policies.

Routing policies also contain two parameters that help further refine this

system: metrics and administrative weight.

Metric (cost) adjustment — Specifies how many hops to assign to

the route. The range of the metric is 0 through 16 hops. (If you specify

0, the system does not modify the metric; if you specify 16, you are

specifying that the route is unreachable — 16 represents infinity.)

Administrative weight — Controls the relative weight of each policy

with respect to another policy. The range extends from 1 to 16, with

16 taking the greatest precedence.
