rcIpRoutingRedistributeDirectToOspfExternalMetricType

Module: RAPID-CITY

OID (symbolic): RAPID-CITY::rcIpRoutingRedistributeDirectToOspfExternalMetricType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.8.4.3.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Used to configure the metric type of the distributed routes to OSPF domain. type1 means the metric is comparable directly to the link state metric (cost = internal cost + external cost). type2 means the metric is considered larger than any link state metric (cost = external cost).

What is rcIpRoutingRedistributeDirectToOspfExternalMetricType?

This OID stores a true/false value that determines how metrics are assigned when directly-connected routes are advertised into OSPF (a routing protocol). Type 1 means costs add up naturally; type 2 means external routes are always considered less desirable regardless of their actual distance. An operator would toggle this to control how OSPF neighbors treat routes learned from outside the main network.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.8.4.3.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RAPID-CITY::rcIpRoutingRedistributeDirectToOspfExternalMetricType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.8.4.3.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RAPID-CITY::rcIpRoutingRedistributeDirectToOspfExternalMetricType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.8.4.3.4.1 i <value>
