Re: OSPF DR and BDR election

That's all to do with the hello from x being received first who at that point in time had the highest router-id at the time of the multi-access election and declared himself as the DR (default priority is 1 for all peers)

OSPF DR/BDR elections are not pre-emptive

debug ip ospf adjacency will show you what happens when

If you had the above scenario then reset the current DR's process (lower router-id) to enable the highest router-id OSPF router take the DR role
