Hi edison,

Please suggest the workaround to achieve the requirement. Will virtual link server the requirement being in same AREA0?

please share your comments.

A workaround for what ?

Looking at your diagram and your post, doesn't tell me much.

Ideally, you would want R1 and R2 to be the DR for their respective segment, but you will also have to deal with the SW1 and SW2 segment DR/BDR election.

Since you only have point-to-point links between devices, according to the diagram, just configure ip ospf network point-to-point under the OSPF interfaces and you don't have to worry about the DR/BDR election.

Dear Edison,

Please have a look at attached diagram which states complete requirement. With above stated information, would we be able to achieve BDR requirement at R2.please share then how would sh ip ospf database and type of routes look like?

currently all learned routes appears to be Type-2 External at both R1 nad R2 routers.

Comment from your PowerPoint file:

R1 Router should be DR on segment 10.118.64.0/24 and 10.118.66.0/24 while R2 Router should be the BDR

Well, I don't see on any of these files that segment. However, you can force DR assignment by entering the highest numeric value in the router-id, for instance:

router ospf 1

router-id 255.255.255.255

But they need to share the same IP subnet and be neighbors for it to work. Based on your diagrams, they aren't neighbors.

You aren't giving me much to work with here.

I need you to be more thorough in your next post as we aren't going anywhere.
