We need to clear ospf process for another drbdr election,which is not good in a production enviroment. Please explain the concept of ospf dr bdr election practically. Existing interfaces on a multiaccess network record the addresses of the dr and the bdr in the interface data structure. Exstart once the dr and bdr are elected, the actual process of exchanging link state information can start between the routers and their dr and. The election process is discussed later in the chapter. Manual reset is required for preemption if a router becomes active and it checks for an active dr and bdr on the network. One of the fields in the ospf hello packet used in the drbdr election process is the router priority field. Ties among routers with equal dr priorities are broken by router id, with the highest rid being preferred. Thus, if a router with a higher priority is added to the network, it will not automatically supplant an existing dr. The first ospf router on a subnet is always elected as designated router, when second router is added it becomes backup designated router.

Red font color or gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only. With which network type will ospf establish router adjacencies but not perform the drbdr election process. Dr bdr elections on a multiaccess segment of five ospf routers. Drbdr hence, ospf elects a designated and backup designated router for broadcast networks adjacencies only formed with dr and bdr lsas sent only to dr bdr listens 224. The router with the next highest priority becomes the new bdr. All routers in an area will form a slavemaster relationship with the dr. This also means that route updates are only shared between the routers and the dr and bdr. If all routers priority is a tie, then the highest router id will be the tiebreaker. All multiaccess networks need the drbdr election process in order to have a central point to transmit lsas. If the link we are using is a multiaccess network ospf has to elect a dr designated router and bdr backup designated router. They are connected to the same switch multiaccess network so there will be a dr bdr election. If a change occurs to a link, the update is forwarded only to the dr, which then. At the end of this stage, the dr and bdr for broadcast and. This paper examines how ospf works and how it can be used to design and build large and.
Configure ospfv2 interface priority to determine the dr and bdr in part 3, you will configure router interface priority to determine the drbdr election, reset the ospfv2 process, and then verify that the dr and bdr routers have changed ospf interface priority overrides all other settings in determining which routers become.
