Description: An alternate routing metric for this route. The semantics of this metric are determined by the routing-protocol specified in the route's ipForwardProto value. If this metric is not used, its value should be set to -1.
What is ipForwardMetric4?
This is an alternate, secondary routing metric slot for the entry, with meaning dependent on the routing protocol named in ipForwardProto, set to -1 when the protocol doesn't use a fourth metric. Admins mainly encounter this populated for protocols that carry multiple metric dimensions, since most simple protocols like RIP only use ipForwardMetric1 and leave this at -1. For example, an admin inspecting a route from a protocol that doesn't define a fourth metric would simply see this object as -1, confirming that metric slot is unused for this entry.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.14 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1354-MIB::ipForwardMetric4
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.14.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1354-MIB::ipForwardMetric4.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24.2.1.14.1 i <value>
