It seems that on a network with broadcast capability, DR election is done autom
atically. However, on a NBMA network, you must/should configure this in order f
or it to work properly.

Thoughts anyone?

Subject: OSPF NBMA mode and priority

    I've been playing around with ospf interface priority makeing various
router the DR and the BDR. In NBMA mode I can say "neighbor x.x.x.x
priority 200" in router config mode. However, whenever I do this, the
interface prioriy statment on the neighboring router overwrites the priority
the the neighbor statement. My question is this:

If the interface priority of the neighboring router overwrites whatever I
put on the router where I call out the priority. What good is this command
anyway??????? i.e "neighbor x.x.x.x priority 100"

Thanks in advance
