Option Description
Interface Cost Enter the sum of all interfaces a packet from the area
must cross to reach the interface.
Designated Router Priority Enter an integer value between 0 and 255 to specify the
priority for becoming the designated router on the
interface. The default is 0.

become the designated router, the one with the highest
priority wins. A router with a router priority of 0 is
ineligible to become a designated router.
