Routemon.exe Does Not Properly Set the Metric Option (214609)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service Update for Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q214609 SYMPTOMS
Configuring Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) from the command line using Routemon.exe does not properly set the metric option. For example, the following command does not set the metric value and causes "iftype" to be modified incorrectly.:
ROUTEMON ip set protocol proto= ospf name= <interface name>
ifaddr= <ip address> ifmask= <subnet mask> iftype=
<broadcast, p2p, or nbma> metric= <metric#>
CAUSE
The command-line option value for metric is interpreted incorrectly by Routemon.exe. The metric value overwrites the "iftype" field.
