Hello All,
The task specifies that we should ensure that the router is ALWAYS
elected the DR for a segment.
The solution given in IE lab 9 task 5.2 is just hard coding the
router-ids, which will make the specified router the DR because of its
higher router-id.
But what happens when for some reason this router reloads or something,
since ospf DR process is non-preemptive, some other router will take the
role of DR.
So to correctly fulfill this requirement shouldn't we configure all
other routers with ospf prio 0??
As ONLY then we can ensure that the router is ALWAYS the DR when it
comes back up.
Well the redundancy will be lost, but I always hear- that in the exam we
should do what we are TOLD and not bother about optimal routing.
OR am I reading TOO Much into the Question?
Please comment.
Thanks,
Mohit.
