Hi Guyz!

So, I've made a couple of OSPF routes across three routers (R1, R2 and R3)

The links appear as follows

R3----->R1<------R2

R1 is the central connecting point between R3 and R2.

R1 has two subnets attached - 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.20.0
R2 has one subnet attached - 192.168.30.0
R3 has one subnet attached - 192.168.40.0

For this example, all subnets are /24

Now, I've got all the routers linked up, they've become neighbors successfully - and everything is working, however, one thing is slightly perplexing me, and that is that R1 has a metric of [110/782] for the 192.168.30.0 network

Router1#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route

I'm just struggling to understand this really... the network is working still, just wondered if anyone could help me understand this please?

What were are you expecting it to be? Interface cost is calculated by (under default configuration):

100 (Mbps)/interface bandwidth (Mbps) = cost
