used. If the calculated cost is less than 1, the value of 1 is used. If no cost or bandwidth reference
value is configured for an interface, OSPF computes the interface cost based on the interface
bandwidth and default bandwidth reference value.
To configure an OSPF cost for an interface:

By default, the OSPF cost is calculated
according to the interface bandwidth.
For a loopback interface, the OSPF cost
is 0 by default.

Configuring OSPF preference
A router can run multiple routing protocols, and each protocol is assigned a preference. If multiple routes
are available to the same destination, the one with the highest protocol preference is selected as the best
route.
