Hi, We have some doubt in DR & BDR election among three switches.
Lets COnsider following three router Router R1 Priority P1 Router R2 Priority P2 Router R3 Priority P3
All the three routers are in Multiaccess N/W
Case 1: R2(Priority P2) > R3(Priority P3) > R1(Priority P1)
- Initially Two Routers R1 & R2 comes UP * Then later Router R3 comes UP before wait-timer expiry of R1 & R2.
We are assuming DR, BDR election work as like the flow given in attachment txt file.
Let us know your input on this.
Thanks Senthil
R1(P1) R2(P2) R3(P3)
-Hello(DR=0.0.0.0)--------->
Router R2 compares its priority P2 with P1 and decide who is DR In our case P2 > P1 so DR=R2
----Hello(DR=R2,BDR=R3)---------->
- Is this the way OSPF elects DR & BDR in a multiaccess N/W ?
