Routing metric in the routing table has nothing to do with the metric
of the routing protocol.

By default it is always 2 for olsrd2.

you can use the telnet command "layer2info" to query the internal
knowledge of the layer2-db in olsrd2:


Try:
echo /layer2info interface | nc 127.0.0.1 2009
echo /layer2info neighbor | nc 127.0.0.1 2009

and of course:
echo /help | nc 127.0.0.1 2009
