17.7 OSPF Cost
You can make a route the preferred route by changing its cost. In this example, cost has been
configured to make R2 the next hop for R1.
The default cost on each interface is 10(100M speed). Interface eth2 on R2 has a cost of 100 and
interface eth2 on R3 has a cost of 150. The total cost to reach 10.10.14.0/24 (R4) through R2 and
R3:
R2: 10+100 = 110
R3: 10+150 = 160
Therefore, R1 chooses R2 as its next hop for destination 10.10.14.0/24.
