ip rip interface metric
Configures the RIP metric or cost for a specified interface. You can set priorities for routes generated by a
switch by assigning a metric value to routes generated by that switch’s RIP interface. For example, routes
generated by a neighboring switch may have a hop count of 1. However, you can lower the priority of
routes generated by that switch by increasing the metric value for routes generated by the RIP interface.
