NAME

       ifmetric - An IPv4 route metrics manipulation tool

SYNOPSIS

       ifmetric INTERFACE [METRIC]

DESCRIPTION

       ifmetric is a Linux tool for setting the metrics of all IPv4 routes attached to a given network interface
       at once. This may be used to change the priority of  routing  IPv4  traffic  over  the  interface.  Lower
       metrics correlate with higher priorities.

       ifmetric uses the Linux NETLINK interface to manipulate the routes. Because of that it is compatible with
       routes created with the new iproute2 utility.

OPTIONS

       You should specify the interface name as first parameter. The second parameter should be the new  metric.
       If omitted the metric 0 (highest) is used.

RETURN VALUES

       0 Success

       1 Failure
