Configuring OSPF Services
4-19
OSPF recognizes that a simple hop count takes no account of reliability,
bandwidth, delay, or the actual dollar cost of using a path. Passing through an
extra hop to get to a 1.54-Mb T1 channel, for instance, may be more efficient than
traversing a shorter, but slower route. For OSPF, the best path is the one that offers
the least-cost metric delay. With the Bay Networks implementation of OSPF,
every path automatically takes on a cost metric value of 1. You must configure cost
metrics if you want to specify a preferred path. To specify a preferred path, you
would allow the preferred path to retain the cost metric value of 1, and then assign
higher-cost metric values to the less-preferred paths.
Figure 4-8 shows the benefit of using configurable cost metrics. Assigning the
56-Kb line a cost metric value of 10 forces OSPF to choose the faster T1 line path
as the best path, despite the extra hop, when transmitting a packet from Host A to
Host B.

For instructions on using Site Manager to specify a cost metric for an OSPF interface, see
the Metric Cost parameter on page 4-33.
