Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a type of routing protocol known as an interior gateway protocol or an interior routing protocol. The routers in an internet are responsible for receiving and forwarding packets through the interconnected set of networks. Each router makes routing decisions based on knowledge of the topology and traffic/delay conditions of the internet. The routing protocol between routers is used to exchange topology and traffic delay information. An interior routing protocol is used within a portion of the internet called an autonomous system, which simply means a connected set of routers that are managed by a single organization. OSPF is the most commonly used interior routing protocol.

What is OSPF adjacencies?

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that helps Routers exchange IP routes. OSPF Adjacencies is the established "neighborship" between two OSPF routers in order to make the exchange of routes. In this case, Adjacency means the same as "peering", that the OSPF speakers (routers) are able to "talk" to each other.


Which two commands can be used to modify the default OSPF metric calculation of a link?

The "ip ospf cost" command can be used to manually set the cost of an OSPF-enabled interface. The "bandwidth" command can indirectly affect OSPF metric calculation by adjusting the bandwidth on an interface, which in turn affects the OSPF metric calculation.
