Hi Colin,The only way I could solve this was to change the cost on the return path of R5 to R8. It isn't tidy, but setting the ip ospf cost on R2's G0/0 port to 10, changes the cumulative path from R5 to R8.I changed the reference bandwidth to 1000 i...

Hi ItDojo,I can't see how you can influence this, unless you have a second interface coming from R5 to R2 with a different ip ospf cost. Does changing the ospf auto cost reference-bandwidth change the behaviour?I'm not sure what R5 would see the R5->...
