Packet Tracer - OSPF and Tunnel interfaces

[adi142]

Hi everyone,

I have a question, I know that Packet Tracer has many limitations and bugs but it's easier to use than gns3 or eve ng (I have a strage issue in EVE - routers freeze after few minutes). How can I set OSPF cost on Tunnel interface in PT? It's very strange, because I also can't assign tunnel interface to OSPF. Tunnel interfaces does not accept any OSPF commands like in this case:

"R3(config)#int Tunnel 1

R3(config-if)#ip ospf 123 area 0

                         ^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker."

Is this normal? I must use command

 network 

instead, while configuring OSPF. Or is there any other way to set cost of tunnel interface? I want to make two self switchable tunnels but one of them should be preffered.

try add ip to tunnel first,
then config the 

router ospf 123 
then enter this command.

Hello,

is is (yet another) limitation in Packet Tracer. The only

ip

command available under a tunnel interface is 'address'...

Thank you for the confirmation, so probably there is no solution in PT for this problem. I must use EVE NG or GNS3 for simulation.
