I've got a better idea - let's just tell the traffic to take the scenic route and enjoy the view!

Okay, let's think about this. The network architect wants the traffic to go through R4, but it's still going through R2. I think the answer is C - changing the cost on the link from R1 to R4 to 5. That should do the trick.

I think option C is the best choice here. Let's go with changing the cost on the link from R1 to R4 to 5.

I agree, changing the cost on the link from R1 to R4 to 5 should redirect the traffic.

This is a tricky one. The engineer has already tried to change the metric, but that didn't work. I think the answer might be C - changing the cost on the link from R1 to R4 to 5. That should make the traffic take the desired path.

Yeah, that makes sense. It will make the traffic flow through R4 instead of R2.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question mentions that all routers are in area 12 and IS-IS is the IGP, but I'm not seeing any mention of OSPF. I think the answer might be B - changing the cost on the link from R1 to R2 to 11 and enabling narrow metrics.

That's a valid point, but I still think adjusting the cost on the link from R1 to R4 might be the simpler solution.

Okay, let's think this through. The network architect wants traffic from R1 to R3 to pass through R4, but it's still going through R2. The engineer set the metric from R1 to R4 to 15, but that's not enough. I think the answer is C - changing the cost on the link from R1 to R4 to 5 should do the trick.

I disagree, I believe changing the default metric to 20 on all links and disabling wide area metrics would be more effective.
