So if you want a redistributed external route to have a certain metric at an
internal router, what's the best way to go about that? Would you
redistribute as an E1, and set the cost to make sure it and the added cost
to the internal router add up to the magic number(modified redistributed E1
cost + cost of path to internal router = total ospf cost metric)? Or would I
just let it in as an E2 and assign the cost I need?
I think either way would work, but I feel that if I use the first, something
may change the link characteristics and ruin the formula. On the other hand
is it right to let all routes come in at some weird(non-default) E2 cost
value?
Thanks in advance,
Manoj

They look the same as far as a route goes, except like you note that the
cost increases on an E1. Otherwise, they have the same characteristics as
far as whether they're allowed in certain area types (or not), and how the
next-hop information is handled.
You'll see them in your routing table as O E1 or O E2 routes. :)

Hello There,
I would like to know the difference between E1 and E2 (default) external
types ? For instance I know that OE1 add the internal cost of each link it
crosses and OE2 does not. Let me know if there is something beyond this.
Also, how can I change the default behaviour, I mean what can I do so that I
see in my routing table a E1 instead a E2 ? Any exaple would be appreciate.
Regards
