Control route metrics

As a distance-vector protocol, RIP uses hop counts to determine the best route, but sometimes the shortest
hop count is a route over the lowest-speed link. To manipulate RIP routes so that the routing protocol
prefers a different route, you must manipulate the route by using the

The command also allows you to manipulate route metrics. Use the command to assign different
weights to routes so that the ones with the lower weight or administrative distance assigned are preferred.
To set route metrics, use either of the following commands in the ROUTER RIP mode:
