In case you require to add different metric values to a netplan config you can see how to do this below:


network:
    ethernets:
        enp1s0:
            [...]
            dhcp6: yes
            dhcp6-overrides:
              route-metric: 100
            [...]
        enp0s31f6:
            [...]
            dhcp6: yes
            dhcp6-overrides:
              route-metric: 10000
            [...]
    version: 2


There are only the parts regarding the metrics shown, further netplan config is still required. A full config could be:


network:
    ethernets:
        #10G NIC - Uplink
        enp1s0:
            match:
              macaddress: 00:1b:21:bb:99:99
            addresses:

            dhcp4: no
