An network engineer is analyzing how OSPFv2 resolves Designated Router (DR) selection on a multiaccess Ethernet segment when multiple candidate routers initialize simultaneously. Arrange the tie-breaking criteria in order of evaluation precedence, starting with the primary criterion evaluated first (highest precedence) at the top down to the final fallback tie-breaker at the bottom.
- 1Highest OSPF interface priority value (1–255)
- 2Explicitly configured OSPF router ID (`router-id` command)
- 3Highest IP address among active loopback interfaces
- 4Highest IP address among active physical interfaces
Cevap
The correct evaluation sequence for OSPF DR selection precedence is: 1. Highest OSPF interface priority value (1–255), 2. Explicitly configured OSPF router ID (`router-id` command), 3. Highest IP address among active loopback interfaces, and 4. Highest IP address among active physical interfaces.
During an OSPF DR/BDR election on a broadcast multiaccess segment, routers first compare interface priority values (1 to 255). If priorities are tied, the election uses the OSPF Router ID as the tie-breaker. The Router ID selection hierarchy itself evaluates an explicitly configured router ID first, followed by the highest active loopback IP address, and finally the highest active physical interface IP address.

Anahtar Kavram
OSPF DR/BDR election logic prioritizes interface priority first, using Router ID (derived via explicit CLI > highest loopback IP > highest physical IP) as a sequential tie-breaker.
