Not certain without seeing the output, but proabably what's happening is that when you clear the process on R5 which has a priority of 255, if it were the dr, from R2's perspective it just lost its dr so it takes over the role. I'd R2 was already the dr, then it would keep that status. When R5 re-establishes its adjancency it can not preempt R2's dr status even though R5 has the higher priority.

For R5 to be able to take the dr role, R2 would have to clear its process.

Just an assumption.

Hey Jeff,

great, that works!

Have to clear the process from the side i configured the higher prio.

If i clear the process from R5 again, then R5 will become the DR.
I have rebooted also, but it seems, like R2 might be faster in booting,
so i got this again in the wrong direction.
