Well... for one, if the lab tells you to make it happen, that's reason
enough (grin)
In the real world you may want to influence the election on the simple
principle of power. If you have an OSPF area set up with frame links (or
whatever scenario you have that use DRs), and the routers that happen to be
in areas with higher IP numbers (ie. would be the designated router) are
2501's, but you have another router that is a 7206 that just happens to have
a lower IP, then you can control the election with the 'ospf priority (#)'
command, where #=0 will never participate in DR/BDR election).

Hi everyone, I have a quick question.
What is the significance of being able to influence the DR election when
configuring OSPF over Frame Relay. Please give some explanation as to why
you want to do this and a quick excerpt of how. I believe you use the "ospf
priority #" cmd, right?
TIA,
