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 ommited the metric 0 (highest) is used.

RETURN VALUES

       0 Success

       1 Failure
