Configuring an additional routing metric

An additional routing metric (hop count) can be added to the metric of an inbound or outbound RIPng route.

An outbound additional metric is added to the metric of a sent route, and it does not change the route's metric in the routing table.

An inbound additional metric is added to the metric of a received route before the route is added into the routing table, and the route's metric is changed.
