If you are referring to a hub and spoke Frame Relay network you should
not have a BDR. The spokes should have their OSPF priority set to 0 so
that they do not participate in the DR/BDR election process. This will
ensure that the hub is always the DR.

If you have a partial mesh or full mesh Frame Relay network then you
will need to consider which routers you want to participate in the
election process to ensure reachability in the event the DR is lost.

Hi Group,

in generic nbma, DR in ospf uses neighbor cmd to
specify its neighbors, should we do this on the BDR as
well? best practice?

Any insights on this?

TIA
