Guys,
I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but can
someone kindly explain to me again? There are 3 routers in a hub &
spoke topology that I want to influence the DR election. And I'm doing
this with "(config-router)# neighbor <x.x.x.x> priority <y>" command -
I also tried "(config-if)# ip ospf priority <y>" command. I have been
reloading the routers (as well as taking down OSPF by "no router ospf
<x>" & putting OSPF back on, and every time the DR, BDR & DROther is
different.
I have read Caslow & Jeff Doyle, they both agree that the router with
the highest priority (on an interface basis) will be the DR for that
subnet, while Parkhurst says that the router with the lowest non-zero
priority will be elected the DR. So who is correct?? And why is the
DR/BDR/DROther are different each time?
Thanks in advance,
Hunt
