Route path

[Shahideachattil]

I have configured ospf area 0 on all routers.R5 to R2 is lease line link

When I do the traceroute from R1 to R2 loopback address 131.131.11.98. It should be travel  through R1 to R4 to R5.

I set the traffic like this by changing ospf interface cost.

But the problem is, I have another requirement

When i do traceroute from R5 to R2 router,

The packet should be travel through R5 to R4 to R1 to R3 to R1.

I can't set the traffic like this

If i change interface ospf cost ,my first requirement is not being happened.

Is there any other way to solve this?or will i get by change cost

The packet should be travel through R5 to R4 to R1 to R3 to R1 - this is R2 i guess here

You can do different ways for the Traffic Engineering, best you can do for testing have ACL to discard that route

if you looking full solution, post the show run config from the devices and learning routes, so we can suggest best.
