ULTICAST
Modifies the DVMRP metric on an interface for which DVMRP is enabled.
Valid Minimum Abbreviation
ip m d i m
Important Considerations
Use this command if you want to modify the metric value of 1 that the
module assigns to an interface when you define it, even if DVMRP is
not yet enabled.
The metric affects the shape of the IP multicast spanning tree when
there are multiple paths to the same downstream destination. The
lower cost path is the preferred path.
