An engineer executes the command shown below to inspect the OSPFv2 operational status of interface GigabitEthernet0/1 on router R3:
text
R3# show ip ospf interface GigabitEthernet0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up
Internet Address 10.1.1.3/24, Area 0
Process ID 1, Router ID 3.3.3.3, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1
Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DROTHER, Priority 0
Designated Router (ID) 2.2.2.2, Interface address 10.1.1.2
Backup Designated Router (ID) 1.1.1.1, Interface address 10.1.1.1
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
Why does router R3 operate in the DROTHER state despite having a higher Router ID than both Designated Router R2 (2.2.2.2) and Backup Designated Router R1 (1.1.1.1)?
- The interface priority on R3 is set to 0, which completely excludes the router from participating in DR and BDR elections.Cevap
- BThe higher Router ID of 3.3.3.3 is overridden because R3 joined the multiaccess segment after R1 and R2 were elected as DR and BDR.
- CAn interface priority of 0 allows a router to participate only in Backup Designated Router (BDR) elections, leaving the Designated Router role to R2.
- DR3 remains a DROTHER because its configured Hello timer interval of 10 seconds does not match the DR timer settings.
Cevap
The interface priority on R3 is set to 0, which completely excludes the router from participating in DR and BDR elections.
In OSPFv2 multiaccess networks, DR and BDR elections evaluate interface priority first (highest priority wins, default is 1). Configuring an interface priority of 0 explicitly prevents that router interface from taking on either the DR or BDR role, keeping it permanently as a DROTHER regardless of how high its Router ID is.
