Value

This value is a specified router metric base to be used for all default gateway routes used at Windows 2000 DHCP-enabled client computers.

This value can be assigned as an integer cost metric ranging from 1 through 9,999. It is used in calculating the fastest, most reliable, and least expensive routes. If a value is not specified, a default of either one (1) or the currently set interface-specific metric is used.

Description

This option can be used to set the default base metric for Windows 2000 DHCP clients. When this option is set, the DHCP client service uses the value configured here as the base metric for its default gateways.
