Configuring The Maximum Number Of Equal-Cost Routes - Huawei S6700 Series Configuration Manual

S6700 Series Ethernet Switches
Configuration Guide - IP Routing
Context
The additional route metric is the metric (hop count) to be added to the original metric of a RIPng
route.
l
l
You can specify the value of the metric to be added to the RIPng route that passes the filtering
policy by specifying value1 through an IPv6 ACL or an IPv6 prefix list. If a RIPng route does
not pass the filtering, its metric is increased by 1.
Do as follows on the RIPng switch:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface vlanif interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
ripng metricin value
The metric added to a received route is set.
Step 4 Run:
ripng metricout { value | { acl6-number | acl6-name acl6-name | ipv6-prefix ipv6-
prefix-name } value1 }
The metric added to a sent route is set.

3.4.4 Configuring the Maximum Number of Equal-Cost Routes

By setting the maximum number of equal-cost RIPng routes, you can change the number of
routes for load balancing.
Context
Do as follows on the RIPng switch:
Issue 01 (2012-03-15)
The ripng metricin command is used to configure a device to add an additional metric to
a received route before the device adds the route to its routing table, causing the metric of
the route in the routing table to change. Running this command affects route selection on
the device and other devices.
The ripng metricout command is used to configure a device to add an additional metric
to a route before the device advertises the route, keeping the metric of the route in the
routing table unchanged. Running this command does not affect route selection on the local
device but will affect route selection of other devices.
NOTE
If the switch connects to other RIPng switches through multiple interfaces, repeatedly perform Step 2 to
Step 4 until metrics of all links are set.
