Hi Dominic,

There are some ways to control the metric value in ospf.

1. There is also the "ip ospf cost" interface command.

2. you can change the numerator on the metric calculation formula by using the "auto-cost reference-bandwith" router config command (default is 100)

3. When you do summarization on the ABR's, you can use the "area x range ....... cost" router config command.

4. On redistribution you can use the "default-metric" router config command, or configure the metric under the "redistribute" command.

Cheers:

Istvan
