You can also specify a priority of 255 in the neighbor statements from the
spokes back to the hub.

Subject: setting ospf priority

Hey Guys,
Anybody that can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it. I
have a multi-point interface going to two spokes I configure ip ospf pri of
255 on my mp. interface and then I add a neigh. statement under the ospf
process with a priority of 0. Using the ? after this gives me an option of
0-255. and yet when I do a sh run it always defaults to 1.

First Why
Second how do I guarantee that the spokes never become the dr. do i have to
go to each spoke and configue a pri of 0 under the interfaces to get this
guarantee. Its been a bit frustrating that with my original config.
Sometimes one of the spokes becomes a DR.

regards,
~eric
