[j-nsp] OSPF Confusion

Hi Christ,

This from Juniper about exporting into ospf and metrics:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos13.1/topics/concept/ospf-routing-external-metrics-overview.html


So if you exported your static routes into OSPF they will be a Type 2 external metric (you can check with "show ospf database external detail"), use only external cost and not take into account the link-state metric in your diagram. 

* You might have to write an export policy: from protocol static + any route-filter that you need, then accept and also add metric xx

Thanks,
Eduardo

The problem is that R3 sees R2 as the best next hop for all of the statics
on R2. I don't understand why. The cost of the path from R3 to R2 is lowest
via R1, 11 vs. 20, right?
