It's quite simple. You must understand that there is no DR/BDR election in ppp and ppmp modes. It only occurs in Broadcast and NBMA modes. Apparently, it bases it's selection a couple of things, but the most important is the priority. The router with the highest priority would be elected as the DR, while the router with the higher priority remains the BDR. Should there be a DR failure, the BDR takes the place of a DR, even after the former DR comes back online, the new DR still remains the DR. In a sense, the DR election works in a round-robin fashion, in that you'd need to clear the ospf processes until the original DR finally becomes the DR again. I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks to you for replying me, my comment is what are all the factor that involves in DR and BDR election

Like Higher loopback address

Hi Vinoth

Each interface on a router that is part of a multiaccess network has a router priority in OSPF. If the priority is 0 that router cannot become a DR or BDR for that network segment.

When a router becomes active, once it has discovered it's neighbours it then checks to see if there is a DR and BDR. If there isn;t a BDR an election is held. if there isn't an active DR the BDR gets promoted and another election is held for the BDR.

In the event of a tie in terms of router priority the router with the highest router ID wins.

Just to add:

Router ID is the hightes loopback address. If no loopback address is set the the highest active interface is used.

Set a loopback! The highest active interface can change if an interface goes down.

#debug ip ospf adj

it is showing some line as

send me the youngest key- what it means

can u help me in getting the both information

Thanks in advance

Vinoth

hi,

0 for not yet encrypted, 7 for proprietary encrypted (using the weak reversible algorithm - needs service password-encryption enabled).

And the reason for this error is most probably that you didn't add the " ip ospf message-digest-key" command under the interface properly.

HTH, please rate all helpful posts,

Mohammed Mahmoud.

Hi,

from that 0 - for not yet encrypted (what it defines )if enabled with 0 what will be the result

7 - what will be the result
