configuring this command, the IS-IS metrics are similar to hop-count metrics.

Assign a metric to an interface.
Syntax

To return to the default values, use the no isis metric [default-metric
[level-1 | level-2] command.
Parameters
default-metric
Metric assigned to the link and used to calculate the cost 
from each other router via the links in the network to other 
destinations. You can configure this metric for Level 1 or 
Level 2 routing. The range is from 0 to 16777215 irrespective 
of the metric style. The default is 10.
If metric value is configured to more than 63, system 
throughs the following warning:Warning: for metrics 
greater than 63, 'metric-style wide' should be 
configured on level-1-2, or it will be capped 
at 63.
If the metric style is WIDE, the metric values that are greater 
than 63 are only effective.
