Re: OSPF Neighbour config wont stick in config ?

A neighbour statement should be on the hub as the Hub is the connector
between the spokes and not the other way around if a spoke go down none of
the other spokes will be effected but if the Hub go down all the spokes will
loose communication so the logic is that due to the fact that the Hub is
keeping all the spokes together the Hub should be the place where you
initiate connection to the spokes and you do that by putting the neighbour
statement under the Hub ospf process.

Think of the Job that DR and BDR have, they are listening to there Neighbour
LSA and updating the Area about the Database to be sync so if you say under
the process to unicast a neighbor it mean that you want to update him with
LSA, but you also say that you are not the DR/BDR and never will be then you
actually can jeopardise the concept of DR/BDR as if you try to neighbor with
another non DR/BDR you will start exchanging LSA on NBMA when it is the Job
of the DR to update you.

I hope it is not a total mess but try to think of the DR/BDR job prospective
and you realize that it is Bad Design to put the neighbour on the spoke.
