I would like to see the "show run | b router ospf" output.

Thank you.

  Subject: Question about OSPF preferring higher cost route from area0
  over lower cost from another area?
  Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 21:04:27 -0700 (PDT)
  Hi GS,

  I have two routers, R4 and R5, running OSPF between each other over
  Frame Relay (Area0)
  and also Ethernet (Area45). R5 is learning an inter-area route
  150.1.6.6/32 from R4 over
  both links. The OSPF cost to reach R4 over the FR is 64 and Ethernet
  is 1. Please can
  someone explain me why R5 prefers the route over the frame Relay as
  opposed to the
  Ethernet? I was expecting R5 to chose its Ethernet link with a
  cumulative cost of 3
  instead of the FR interface with a cumulative cost of 66? Are routes
  for the same prefix
  preferred within Area0?

  Thanks for your help,
  Eric
