RE: IP OSPF COST for IA's

Remember that all inter-area traffic must transit area 0 (an ABR). It doesn't matter what the cost is to reach R3's loopback which is in area 2 across the Ethernet segment that is area 3.

To reach a route in area 2 the traffic must use the area 0 path over the path across area 3. If you want to "transit" area 3 to reach area 2 look into using a virtual-link across the Ethernet or a tunnel.

Thanks for your help, this is a very simple topology..sorry not good drawing also :)
 
R2 is the Hub
R3 and R4 are the spokes
R4 is also conected to R2 via Ethernet

R3 Lo0 belongs to area 2
R2, R3, R4 S0s are in area 0
R4 Eth to R2 Ethe si in area 3

Brain, but why to get to route 3.3.3.3 the router is choosing S0, E0 has a better cost

 
On 12/23/05, Brian Dennis < bdennis@internetworkexpert.com> wrote:
You have four OSPF routes in your routing table:

     2.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O E2 2.2.2.0 [110/20] via 183.1.0.2, 00:24:45, Serial0
    3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 3.3.3.3 [110/129] via 183.1.0.2, 00:24:45, Serial0
O 183.1.0.2/32 [110/64] via 183.1.0.2, 00:31:22, Serial0
O 183.1.0.3/32 [110/128] via 183.1.0.2, 00:31:24, Serial0

You adjusted the OSPF cost on the interface to 1000:

     2.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O E2 2.2.2.0 [110/20] via 183.1.42.2, 00:01:24, Ethernet0
     3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 3.3.3.3 [110/1065] via 183.1.0.2, 00:01:24, Serial0
    4.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O 183.1.0.2/32 [110/1000] via 183.1.0.2, 00:01:24, Serial0
O 183.1.0.3/32 [110/1064] via 183.1.0.2, 00:01:25, Serial0

All of the intra and inter area routes cost have changed. The only
route that did not change is the E2 route which as you know should not
change.

As per RFC 2328:

   Cost
       The link state cost of the path to the destination. For all
       paths except type 2 external paths this describes the entire
       path's cost. For Type 2 external paths, this field describes
       the cost of the portion of the path internal to the AS. This
       cost is calculated as the sum of the costs of the path's
       constituent links.

Dears

Why IA OSPF route's are not affected with the ip ospf cost command?
Is there a preference for Intra / Inter / External Route? Please can you
show me where I can find this in 2328
Thanks!

That is: (take a look at 3.3.3.3)
