Re: OSPF preferable router or path

Thanks all you guys !

I tested with my Lab. I think the right answer is "area <area-id>
default-cost <cost>" for Stub and Totally Stub areas.
Those workbooks and scenarios solutions are driving me nuts.

The one from Hellocomputer is neither stub nor totall stub.

Multicast routing table will take R1 as the shortest path.

R1 R2
 | |
---------------
         |

Suggested solution 1 - ip ospf cost on R1 with lower cost
Suggested solution 2 - change to lower admin distance for the route gto
destination . (doesn't make any sense)
