weight Enter a number from 1 to 255 for the weight (for prioritization).
The default is 120.
ip-address
(OPTIONAL) Enter the IP address, in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D), of the host or
network to receive the new distance metric.
mask
If you enter an IP address, you must also enter a mask for that IP address, in either dotted
decimal format or /prefix format (/x)
prefix-name
(OPTIONAL) Enter a configured prefix list name.
Version 9.0.2.0 Introduced on the S6000.

default-metric Assign one distance metric to all routes learned using the redistribute command.
S6000
prefix-list-name
Enter the name of a configured prefix list.
interface
(OPTIONAL) Identifies the interface type slot/port as one of the following:
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
GigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a Port Channel, enter the keyword
port-channel followed by a number
from 1 to 32 for EtherScale, 1 to 255 for TeraScale, 1-128 on S-Series.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword
vlan followed by a number from 1 to 4094.
