SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
A metric is a weighted cost assigned to static and dynamic routes. Metrics have a value
between 0 and 255. Lower metrics are considered better and take precedence over higher
costs. SonicOS Enhanced adheres to Cisco defined metric values for directly connected
interfaces, statically encoded routes, and all dynamic IP routing protocols.
Route Policies Table
You can change the view your route policies in the Route Policies table by selecting one of the
view settings in the View Style menu.
All Policies displays all the routing policies including Custom Policies and Default Policies.
Initially, only the Default Policies are displayed in the Route Policies table when you select
All Policies from the View Style menu.
The Route Policies table provides easy pagination for viewing a large number of routing
policies. You can navigate a large number of routing policies listed in the Route Policies table
by using the navigation control bar located at the top right of the Route Policies table.
Navigation control bar includes four buttons. The far left button displays the first page of the
table. The far right button displays the last page. The inside left and right arrow buttons moved
