OSPF Route Issue

[karamalomari]

I have a Router that is connected to High Availability Firewall using 2 different interfaces on the Router.

The interfaces are layer 3 interfaces with the HA Firewall.

The router is receiving the internal routes from the Firewall on both Interfaces.

The routes are preferred on the router from the second interface and I would like to change it to first interface.

When giving the command on Second Interface

show ip ospf interface g0/2 | inc Cost

The output:

Process ID 1, Router ID 10.10.10.1, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1

Also, when giving the command on First Interface

show ip ospf interface g0/2 | inc Cost

The output:

Process ID 1, Router ID 10.10.10.1, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1

Now the question I want the router to prefer the first interface not the second interface, so can I do that by increasing the cost under Second Interface? or is there a different way?

That would be the best way to do it, so just increase the cost on the second interface.
