Thanks for everyones respone.
Just to shed some light on my own question. I verified the 0 priority
statement on the spokes does work AND I know I have seen more knowledgable
people than myself state that in a mp. scenario you do all your conf on the
hub and leave the spokes alone. I guess what I am looking for is this: Is
there a clean way to do it on the hub only. Does not appear so

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
