Hi,
I was reading page 558 of Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volume 1 and came
across this paragraph.
"The neighbor command configures Rembrandt with the IP addresses of the
interfaces of its three neighbors. The default priority is zero; by not
changing the default at Rembrandt, none of its neighbors is eligible to
become the DR or BDR?
Doesn't having priority zero make a router ineligible to be DR or BDR ?
When I read Solie ( CCIE Practical Studies page 762), it wrote
"The hub router of the multipoint network, or the router that has a PVC
to each site, should be statically configured as the DR. To accomplish
this, set the priority of the spoke or remote routers to 0. A priority
of 0 tells OSPF that this interface or neighbor will not participate in
the DR/BDR election process"
Am I missing something ? Could someone help clarify the above two
statements ? I read the archives and someone said that it might have
something to do with the nieghbor statements. However, both books used
the neighbor statements to identify their neigbors.
Kevin
