OSPF cost manipulation

[Brent Rockburn]

I have a remote site that until recently was connected via L2L tunnel. We now have a DS3 to that site and I'd like to manipulate the cost of OSPF so that it picks the DS3 first and the tunnel second.

Can someone point me to a config example or a doc.

Thanks,

Brent

you need ip ospf Cost under interfaces.

To avoid asymmetric routing, add this under both adjacent interfaces.

On most(?) Cisco routers, OSFP will compute a cost derived by the configured (or assumed) bandwidth statement. You can configured a manual OSFP cost too, but using the bandwidth statement, all interfaces will recompute their cost if you change the OSPF reference bandwidth. (I.e. I think the management aspect is better using bandwidth statements.)
