   Hi pple,
   I tried out the config in Jeff Doyle's book pg 557-558. But I have
   some problem with the neighbor command.
   Hub router
> router ospf 10
> network ......
> neighbor spokeA-ip ### according to documentation, if not specified
   =0
> neighbor spkeB-ip ### according to documentation, if not specified
   =0
>
> At spokeA,
> router ospf 10
> neigh Hub-ip priority 10 ## to make the hub router the DR
>
> At spokeB,
> neigh Hub-ip priority 10 ## to make the hub router the DR
>
   I read from the documentation and Jeff's book that if priority for the
   neighbor command is not specified, it'll
   be priority 0, which implies it will not participate in DR/BDR
   election. WIth the above config,
   the hub router should become DR since the spoke router cannot
   participate in DR/BDR election.
   At the spoke, the configuration will change the priority to 1 after a
   while even when I keyed in the priority to be 10. The same thing
   happens to the hub. WHy ?? If we can't change the priority, then why
   have the option. I am using 11.2(18)
   I know that we can set ip ospf priority at the interface. I just
   wonder why the neighbor command behave so strangely.
   THanks
