Thank you, I know that especially in a hub and spoke scenario that the DR
should be at the hub. I usually set this up with the interface command "ip
ospf priority XXX". However, If I set up a frame cloud as "ip ospf
network non-broadcast (NBMA)", hub-and-spoke or fully meshed, I have to
declare my neighbor statments in (config-router) mode. I can go as far as
saying what the neighbor I configure priority is going to be, "neighbor
x.x.x.x prioriy 100" What I can't figure out is when I do configure the
neighbors priority in this fashion, the interface priority on the neighbor
overrides and OVERWRITES the prioriy I declare for it in my neighbor
statments. Even if I set the interface priority on the offending router to
0. I just can't figure the use of configuring the priority in the neighbor
statement if it's just going to get overwritten anyway.......Strange. IOS
version is 12.0-(10). This is not a CCIE lab breaker or anything. So
don't anybody sweat too much. I just thought I had OSPF down pat.
Thanks again
Tony.

It seems that on a network with broadcast capability, DR election is done
automatically. However, on a NBMA network, you must/should configure this in
order for 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
