weird question, but only logical answer seems to be D. I would have thought the cost would have an impact, but point-point link is an area 0 at cost 40, which is higher than the other cost in area 0.

OSPF first look at the prefered path list as below and secondly compare path metric: Intra-Area (O) Inter-Area (O IA) External Type 1 (E1) NSSA Type 1 (N1) External Type 2 (E2) NSSA Type 2 (N2) so most apporiate answer is to configure R1-R2 link as multiarea adjacency. under the interface configuration mode: ip ospf network point-to-point ip ospf multi-area 1 https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/118879-configure-ospf-00.html

Am I missing something it is routing in area 0 and you need to avoid using R5 and R6 and go direct in same area. A: Lower the cost of link between the R1-R2, to be less than R1-R5-R6-R2

Selected Answer: D
default path selection preference for OSPF is Intra-Area first before even looking and Inter-Area routes. After alot of reading multi-area adjancy is the only real logical answer
