RE: Understanding "Neighbor x.x.x.x Priority" under NBMA OSPF

Remember that the elecion is not preemptive, the only way you can assure that
one router will become the DR is that the other ones have the "ip ospf
priority 0" under the interface. There is no other way to "be sure".

If you have one router with Priority 10, one with Priority 20, and other with
Priority 30, the DR will be the one that start the OSPF process first, not
necesarily the one with the highest priority. If you put an interface with
priority 0, that one will never become the DR.

Subject: Understanding "Neighbor x.x.x.x Priority" under NBMA OSPF

Greetings,

I am practicing DR/BDR election on NBMA networks. My topology is described
below. I am trying to influence DR/BDR election based on "neighbor x.x.x.x
priority" command. (while keeping the default priority under interface). I
don't think its working.
I gave priority 20 to neighbor 150.50.100.5 but I don't see this router
becoming DR.
Any help in understanding "neighbor x.x.x.x priority" command is
appreciated.
