From stillzy on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/vyos/comments/lfe2zm/change_dhcp_default_metric/):

Change DHCP Default Metric

With EdgeOS it's possible to change the default route metric for DHCP Learned default routes, is this possible with VyOS?

Add dhcp-options default-route-distance configuration node.

Wrong behavior

set high-availability vrrp group test interface 'eth1'
set high-availability vrrp group test rfc3768-compatibility
set high-availability vrrp group test virtual-address '172.20.110.111/24'
set high-availability vrrp group test virtual-address '172.20.110.15/24'
set high-availability vrrp group test vrid '1'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 'dhcp'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 dhcp-options default-route-distance '254'

That creates vrf name "eth1v1" and assigns the default route to that vrf. I don't use any vrf.

!
vrf eth1v1
 ip route 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.101.1 eth1 tag 210 254
 exit-vrf
!

I created a separate task for this because it was not caused by a previous commit. T3392
