hi,
i've read everywhere that you can use the "cost" option on dlsw commands to force routers to prefer on peer over another.also i read that if i use the "cost" option on a "dlsw remote-peer" command it'll overwrite any cost sent by that remote peer during capabilities exchange.
now i tried this in a controlled environment and here's the results:
a)if i use the "cost" option on a "dlsw local-peer" command on router A, router B would get the proper cost value (via the capabilities exchange).
b)if i add the "cost" option with a different value in router B's "dlsw remote-peer" command, the cost does not get overwritten.
c)if i don't use the "cost" option on the "dlsw local-peer" command on router A AND use the "cost" option on the "dlsw remote-peer" command on router B, i still get the default cost value of 2.
my conclusion is:
cost works if i apply it using "dlsw local-peer"
it doesn't work when using "dlsw remote-peer".
i'm running 12.0(19). anyone seen this? any comments?
