[Xorp-users] Question on OSPF route failover.

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi,

OSPF should always use the lowest cost link that is up, could you send
the OSPF database for the case when the lowest cost link is not being
used so that we can investigate.

Saving the OSPF database: "ospf/tools/print_lsas -S /tmp/saved.lsas".
