CLI Reference Guide
Use this command to configure the metric value on the current interface.
It can be a value from 1 to 31. A value of 32 sets the route metric to infinite or
unreachable.

VLAN interface configuration
This command is only valid for the VLAN interface.
For each source network reported, a route metric is associated with the route
being reported. The metric is the sum of the interface metrics between the router
originating the report and the source network. DVMRP uses the infinite or
unreachable metric which is defined to be 32. This limits the breadth across the
entire DVMRP network and is necessary to place an upper boundary on the
convergence time of the protocol.
By default, a metric value of 1 is associated with each DVMRP route. Use the
command to modify the metric value.
This example shows how to change the metric value to 2 of an interface.
Verfiy the settings by the show ip dvmrp interface command.
