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
