Hey all,
I have done quite a bit of Googling and DOC-CD reading, and have not found
anyone offering any clever ways to force the election of a certain router as
the DR besides setting the priority to 0 on all other routers.
For example, if I had a question that asked me to ensure Router1 was always
the DR on a certain segment without touching the configuration of Router2
and Router3 I can set the priority very high on Router1, but if Router1
boots a few seconds later than Router2, Router2 will be the DR even if it
has it's default priority of 1. The only way I can think to completely
guarantee Router1 is always the DR is to make the priority 0 on all other
routers.
Am I missing something obvious, or am I over thinking this too much? I have
not seen this asked in any practice labs, just theorizing what could happen.
