RE: OSPF - Prefered External Path - Avoid ISDN

Gladston,

ISDN interfaces in OSPF have a much higher cost than ser interfaces.
The cost for your isdn should be 1562, so there must be another reason it
prefers the isdn path.

In the database it doesn't show this route from the ser int?

Subject: OSPF - Prefered External Path - Avoid ISDN

R5 receives external LSA about route 200.200.47.0 from R4 (BRI) and from R1
(serial).

Is there a way to configure R5 so it prefer path R5---R1 to reach net
200.200.47.0, instead path R5----R4 (bri)?

R4(bri)----OSPF A300---(bri)R5(s0/0)----OSPF A0----(s0/0)R1(s0/0.14)

It seems there is a problem with R4, because it is connected to two areas
(area 300 and area 200) while not connected to area0. Would you agree? Even
though I configure virtual link on R4--R5, this way connecting R4 to area 0,
would you have a solution to the first question? (R5 should prefer the path
to R1 to reach the external network injected by R4 instead of the directly
path to R4 (BRI).
