During a scheduled maintenance window, a network specialist examines the OSPFv2 operational status of interface GigabitEthernet0/1 on router R3 using the Cisco IOS CLI:
text
GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up
Internet Address 10.1.1.3/24, Area 0
Process ID 1, Router ID 192.168.100.1, Network Type BROADCAST, Cost: 1
State DROTHER, Priority 0
Designated Router (ID) 10.1.1.1, Interface address 10.1.1.1
Backup Designated Router (ID) 10.1.1.2, Interface address 10.1.1.2
If both the current Designated Router (10.1.1.1) and Backup Designated Router (10.1.1.2) suffer a simultaneous power failure, which role will router R3 assume on this multiaccess segment after the network re-converges?
- AR3 will assume the Designated Router (DR) role because its Router ID (192.168.100.1) is higher than any other router on the segment.
- R3 will remain in the DROTHER state and will be ineligible to become either the DR or BDR.Cevap
- CR3 will automatically become the Backup Designated Router (BDR) while the next eligible router with a non-zero priority becomes the DR.
- DR3 will dynamically change its OSPF network type to Point-to-Point to bypass the DR/BDR election process.
Cevap
R3 will remain in the DROTHER state and will be ineligible to become either the DR or BDR.
In OSPFv2 broadcast network types, setting an interface OSPF priority to 0 makes that interface permanently ineligible to become a Designated Router (DR) or Backup Designated Router (BDR). Even if all active DR/BDR routers fail, an interface configured with priority 0 remains in the DROTHER state and will never be promoted, regardless of how high its Router ID is.
