I'm now trying to get the Multinet links to 192.108.200.211 59.58 (STUPI) cleaned up and re_established,=20 right now only the link to Legato is working properly. SG1=20 had cost 1 on their side instead of 10.=20 I should add that if SG1:: and LEGATO:: need to pass information, the circuit costs favor the Multinet Tunnel links between the two major US hubs. I would rather the Multinet Tunnel be used instead of using the bridge link to Sweden and then back again. -Steve Steve, In that case you are right, and as I said before, the problem is the bridged ethernet. Multinet nodes, could increese the cost on their Ethernets, but it only works one direction, as all the remote nodes has the same metric on their Ethernet towards you. In the SG1:: LEGATO:: case you can do the local optimization as the topology and other nodes on those locations may allow it, but it's not possible to do that in area 59, and especially not if the cisco box in uppsala is in area 1 talking to area 59 with a additional hop. I'm only asking you to set your cost on the multinet link to stupi:: to 10. -P
