DR and BDR Election
DR and BDR Election
Generally, this only occurs when the OSPF process begins (or the OSPF
process is restarted), however some caveats may apply.
1. To elect a DR and BDR, the routers will use the priority configured by the
ip ospf priority [#] command
a. Highest priority is preferred
b. Range from 0 255; default of 1
c. Value of 0 is never elected, value of 255 at least forces a tie
