Re: OSPF area question

If you mean the area has two more ABRs, then you can control that by
using the following:
By default, the cost of the default route that's injected by the ABR
is 1; this can be verified by "Show ip ospf", and Show ip route. The
cost of the default route can be changed by "area xx default-cost cc",
where xx is the area number, and cc is the desired cost. I hope this
helps
