For example, the following command sets the poll interval to 90 seconds on IP
interface 2.2.2.2:
ospf/2.2.2.2# poll-interval 90
ospf/2.2.2.2#
Using Site Manager
To specify a poll interval, complete the following tasks:
Specifying the Metric Cost
For OSPF, the best path is the one that offers the least-cost metric.
You must configure cost metrics if you want to specify a preferred path. Allow the
preferred path to retain the default cost metric value of 1, and then assign
higher-cost metric values to the less-preferred paths.
Figure 6-3
illustrates 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.
