Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An engineer increases physical bandwidth yet leaves configured OSPF interface costs that prefer the congested backup hop. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Compare interface cost values, SPF results, route cost and the selected next hop. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change.
