Element Description
Area ID Enter an identifier for the area as either a decimal number or an IP
address. Valid decimal values range from 0 to 4294967295.
Cost The cost of sending a packet on an interface. Valid values are 0 to
65535.
Routing decisions are based on cost, which is an indication of the
overhead required to send packets across a certain interface. The ASA
calculates the cost of an interface based on link bandwidth rather than
the number of hops to the destination. The cost can be configured to
specify preferred paths.
