max-metric router-lsa

Description

Sets the protocol to advertise a maximum metric so that other routers do not prefer this router as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations. If the on-startup parameter is used, the router is configured to advertise a maximum metric at startup for the time mentioned in seconds or for a default value of 600 seconds.

The no form of this command advertises the normal cost metrics instead of advertising the maximized cost metric. This setting causes the router to be considered in traffic forwarding.
