Part 2: Configure and Verify OSPFv2 on the DR, BDR, and DROther
Part 3: Configure OSPFv2 Interface Priority to Determine the DR and BDR
Background / Scenario
A multiaccess network is a network with more than two devices on the same shared media. Examples include
Ethernet and Frame Relay. On multiaccess networks, OSPFv2 elects a Designated Router (DR) to be the
collection and distribution point for link-state advertisements (LSAs) that are sent and received. A Backup
Designated Router (BDR) is also elected in case the DR fails. All other routers become DROthers as this
indicates a router that is neither the DR nor the BDR.
Because the DR acts as a focal point for OSPF routing protocol communication, the router chosen should be
capable of supporting a heavier traffic load than other routers in the network. A router with a powerful CPU
and adequate DRAM is typically the best choice for the DR.

In this lab, you will configure OSPFv2 on the DR, BDR, and DROther. You will then modify the priority of
routers to control the outcome of the DR/BDR election process and ensure that the desired router becomes
the DR.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco
IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used.
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Required Resources
 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
 Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
 Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic settings on the routers.
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.

Attach the devices as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.
Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure device names as shown in the topology.
c. Assign class as the privileged EXEC password.
d. Assign cisco as the console and vty passwords.
e. Encrypt the plain text passwords.
f. Configure a MOTD banner to warn users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
g. Configure logging synchronous for the console line.
h. Configure the IP addresses listed in the Addressing Table for all interfaces.
i. Use the show ip interface brief command to verify that the IP addressing is correct and that the
interfaces are active.
j. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
Part 2: Configure and Verify OSPFv2 on the DR, BDR, and DROther
In Part 2, you will configure OSPFv2 on the DR, BDR, and DROther. The DR and BDR election process takes
place as soon as the first router has its interface enabled on the multiaccess network. This can happen as the
routers are powered-on or when the OSPF network command for that interface is configured. If a new router
enters the network after the DR and BDR have already been elected, it does not become the DR or BDR,
even if it has a higher OSPF interface priority or router ID than the current DR or BDR. Configure the OSPF
process on the router with the highest router ID first to ensure that this router becomes the DR.
Step 1: Configure OSPF on R3.

Configure the OSPF process on R3 (the router with the highest router ID) to ensure that this router becomes
the DR.
a. Assign 1 as the process ID for the OSPF process. Configure the router to advertise the 192.168.1.0/24
network. Use an area ID of 0 for the OSPF area-id parameter in the network statement.
What factor determined that R3 has the highest router ID?
la interfaz locback
b. Verify that OSPF has been configured and R3 is the DR.

What command would you use to verify that OSPF has been configured correctly and R3 is the DR?
show ip iospf interface

Configure the OSPF process on R2 (the router with the second highest router ID) to ensure that this router
becomes the BDR.
b. Verify that the OSPF has been configured and that R2 is the BDR. Record the command used for
verification.
show ip ospf interface
c. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to view information about the other routers in the OSPF
area.
R2# show ip ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
192.168.31.33 1 FULL/DR 00:00:33 192.168.1.3 GigabitEthernet0/0
Notice that R3 is the DR.

Configure the OSPF process on R1 (the router with the lowest router ID). This router will be designated as
DROther instead of DR or BDR.
b. Issue show ip ospf interface brief command to verify that OSPF has been configured and R1 is the
DROther.
R1# show ip ospf interface brief
Interface PID Area IP Address/Mask Cost State Nbrs F/C
Gi0/1 1 0 192.168.1.1/24 1 DROTH 2/2
c. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to view information about the other routers in the OSPF
area.
R1# show ip ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
192.168.31.22 1 FULL/BDR 00:00:35 192.168.1.2 GigabitEthernet0/1

192.168.31.33 1 FULL/DR 00:00:30 192.168.1.3 GigabitEthernet0/1
What priority are both the DR and BDR routers?
Part 3: Configure OSPFv2 Interface Priority to Determine the DR and BDR

In Part 3, you will configure router interface priority to determine the DR/BDR election, reset the OSPFv2
process, and then verify that the DR and BDR routers have changed. OSPF interface priority overrides all
other settings in determining which routers become the DR and BDR.
Step 1: Configure R1 G0/1 with OSPF priority 255.

A value of 255 is the highest possible interface priority.
R1(config)# interface g0/1
R1(config-if)# ip ospf priority 255
R1(config-if)# end

R3(config-if)# end

A priority of 0 causes the router to be ineligible to participate in an OSPF election and does not become a DR
or BDR.
R2(config-if)# end
Step 4: Reset the OSPF process.

a. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to determine the DR and BDR.
b. Has the DR designation changed? si Which router is the DR? R3
Has the BDR designation changed? si Which router is the BDR? R1
What is the role of R2 now? Drother
Explain the immediate effects caused by the ip ospf priority command.
Note: If the DR and BDR designations did not change, issue the clear ip ospf 1 process command on
all of the routers to reset the OSPF processes and force a new election.
If the clear ip ospf process command does not reset the DR and BDR, issue the reload command on all
routers after saving the running configuration to the startup configuration.
c. Issue the show ip ospf interface command on R1 and R3 to confirm the priority settings and DR/BDR
status on the routers.
R1# show ip ospf interface

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
