Q. on OSPF cost settings on interfaces with different speeds
Hi, assuming I have the following topology: R1 ———–(SW)————R2 f0/0 e0/0 with R1 and R2 running OSPF. Should I adjust the ip ospf cost on R1 to reflect R2’s cost (or viceversa)? Having a different cost on each side of the link may cause asymmetric routing to happen (assuming a topology a little more complex than the one I drew) and I wonder if it is required in the lab to have the two interface costs matching. I believe that when a task explicitly requires to change the cost we have to do it on both side (right?), wouldn’t this be a similar case? Sabrina
