Configuring an additional routing metric
An additional routing metric (hop count) can be added to the metric of an inbound or outbound RIP 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. If the sum of the additional metric and the original metric is greater than 16, the metric of the route is 16.
