Hello,

This is my first reluctant post, as I have been content to search the
archives previously. On this occasion I didn't find the answer.

some clarity would be gratefully appreciated.

I have a frame relay ospf multipoint network with router A, B and C ( full
mesh).

Router B and C are also connected to a common LAN segment

By configuring Router A, without the use of the cost command or the
bandwidth command, traffic should flow via router B.

The Frame relay network and the LAN are in the same area.

I am trying to use the distance command to change the routes advertised from
router C, but it seems that Router C is doing all the advertising for this
LAN segment. Is this the case because Router C is the DR for the LAN, so it
will be the advertising router for the LAN for routes advertised to router

Without sounding to confusing. I think I cannot differenciate between the
LAN advertisement from router B or C( using the distance command), because
the advertising router is always router C ( the DR for the LAN segment).
Would this be right?

nick
