To return to the default values, use the no isis metric [default-metric]
[level-1 | level-2] command.
Parameters
default-metric Metric assigned to the link and used to calculate the cost from
each other router via the links in the network to other
destinations. You can configure this metric for Level 1 or Level 2
routing. The range is from 0 to 16777215 irrespective of the
metric style. The default is 10.

the following warning:Warning: for metrics greater
than 63, 'metric-style wide' should be configured

If the metric style is WIDE, the metric values that are greater than
63 are only effective.
level-1 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords level-1 to configure the
