Hi guys,

Just incase I get asked to setup ospf over an NBMA network and I have to use
the "non-broadcast" network type over a hub and spoke topology

say i have

    rtr 1
   / \
 / \
rtr2 rtr3

Do I just need the neighbor command on the hub, and if so, to set the hub as
always the DR - I just set the ip ospf priority on the interface on rtr1 to
255.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE WAY I FEEL IS THE CLEANEST WAY BUT WHAT IS THE CISCO WAY?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

So in essence, if I was to get asked to perform this, all I would plan to do
is the following

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
on HUB
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 142.220.19.0 0.0.0.31 area 0
 neighbor 142.220.19.2
 neighbor 142.220.19.3
!
int s0/0.2
ip ospf net non-broad
ip ospf pri 255

R2#sh ip ospf nei

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
222.0.0.2 0 FULL/DROTHER 00:01:37 142.220.19.2
Serial0/0.2
222.0.0.3 0 FULL/DROTHER 00:01:59 142.220.19.3
Serial0/0.2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

on R2

int s0/0
ip ospf net non-broad
ip ospf pri 0

R2#sh ip ospf nei

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
222.0.0.1 255 FULL/DR 00:01:55 142.220.19.1 Serial0/0
R2#

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

on R3

int s0/0
ip ospf net non-broad
ip ospf pri 0

R3#sh ip ospf nei

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
222.0.0.1 255 FULL/DR 00:01:55 142.220.19.1 Serial0/0
R3#
