Metric Defines the cost for normal service. For consistent routing, this parameter should be
determined in the same manner for all routers in the OSPF Area. Normally, metric cost
is defined as an inverse function of interface throughput (e.g. 1 for 100Mbps, 10 for
10Mbps, 65 for T1, 1785 for 56kbps, etc).
Advertise Secondary
IP Address Causes the router to advertise additional addresses assigned to this interface. These
are configured in CONFIG => INTERFACE =><LINK> =>NETWORK PROTOCOL =>IP.
* Inside a given area, these 4 parameters should be the same for all routers.
