What is ospfHostMetric?

This is the metric value this router advertises for the host route configured in ospfHostIpAddress, at the given type of service. Admins tune this if they want the host route to appear more or less preferred relative to other paths reaching the same host.

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.6.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfHostMetric

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.6.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfHostMetric.1
