All the vendor's workbooks break this down pretty clear.

David has great blog going and you can start here and browse through them...

Also, you can mix and match network types that do and do not require a dr by
modifying the ever important ospf hello and dead timers....

(i.e. get p2p to neighbor up with p2m, etc)

Subject: quick question in ospf network types

i just want to make sure of one thing

will be the interface type (physical, sub multi or sub point-to-pint)
in effect for the ospf network type?

the problem i run into, i had point-to-point sub-interfeace + ospf
non-brodcast ... this led me to "encapsulation faild" error... and got
fiexed when i chaned the interface type to multipoint sub-interface

that was in dynamips... but to make sure ive dont it again on a real
rack.. and i worked (point-to-point sub + ospf non-broadcast)...

so i guess its dynamips issure

but to make a final note..did anyone had a similar issue will mixing
and matching between interface types and ospf network types?
